The Acquisitive Society

Download The Acquisitive Society by R. H. Tawney, and discover a new perspective that will challenge many of the core concepts of society that we take for granted!

 

Tawney wrote The Acquisitive Society in 1920 to examine some of the most basic principles that our modern world is built upon: materialism and economic inequality. Tawney guides the reader through his ideology in eight sections, beginning with an introduction to the purpose of industry and ending with the “vicious cycle” that is caused by a society that tolerates a vastly wealthier upper class.

 

Tawney was an economic historian who not only studied history, but analyzed it and sought to change it for the better. Unlike many books written today on similar topics, The Acquisitive Society uses neither statistics nor numbers to illustrate its ideas. Instead, Tawney will equip you with a lifetime of study and analysis based on ethics, human rights, and the right to a society that promotes fairness and happiness.

 

“Tawney exercised the widest influence of any historian of his time, politically, socially and, above all, educationally.” – A. L. Rowse
