In his new essay, Kostas Lambos refers to private property as the "matrix of power, inequality, criminality, obscurantism, and immorality," continuing his unconventional critique, which he so accurately analyzed in his previous works, of the establishment of absolute individualism in the third Christian millennium.

"During the great period," he writes, "of human history without private property, which lasted for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, during which the human species evolved from a grazing quadruped to a socially thinking biped and secured its survival, it seems that what interested its members was not wealth as the power of one at the expense of others, but the safest individual and collective survival and happiness."

The book is read without interruption and the reader is "educated" by the multitude of references from leading intellectuals and researchers related to the subject, while the talented author, knowing in advance the criticism that may be directed at him, timely distances himself from those who in the early 20th century abolished private property without achieving either happiness or prosperous collective survival.

Many of your questions about how the planet Earth reached its current economic and environmental crisis will be answered through the pages of this extremely timely book.
