Reseña del libro "Egoism and Inequality - Wrongly Convicted (en Inglés)"
This book offers an unusual outlook on two separate but interrelated subjects-egoism and economic inequality, the latter meaning unequal distribution of resources among humans. The book brings the stories about how egoism and economic inequality relate to each other, to human nature and Nature herself. The stories are based on interpretation of Torah and Bible, historic facts and events, and proper examples presented by Nature about behavior of animals and other living beings.Part 1 of the book is dedicated to egoism, a trait of human nature, which exists since the dawn of Life, and to its antipode altruism, which appeared just 175 years ago. It's not a coincidence that, since appearance of altruism, egoism has been condemned, rejected and banned to get rid of it! And it is not an accident that egoism survived this merciless war waged against it because Nature is its side!We reject selfish, disgraceful egoism and welcome selfless, honorable altruism on ethical-moral grounds. But, in fact, our behavior is motivated by ideological reasons! After all, egoism is associated with individualism-the foundation of capitalism, while altruism is related to collectivism-the core of Marxism and socialism! Each of them is playing its role-altruism hands down a sentence, while Marxism enforces this sentence!If you look back deep into recorded human history, you can find that all three major religions and many outstanding secular philosophers have been considering egoism to be acceptable and legitimate as an important trait of human nature that helped mankind to survive. Only in modernity, the meanings of altruism and egoism were corrupted, while egoistic behavior became criminal and punishable! As a result, we look at altruism with admiration as at a majestic iceberg. But we forget that it's just the tip of it. Down below, lurks its enormous, deadly body that destroyed Titanic. In contrast, we treat egoism with disgust like dirt! But, if you think about it, the repulsive dirt is just wet soil-the soil without which Life on earth would have been impossible.Part 2 of the book is dedicated to economic inequality. In the eyes of Nature, economic inequality is unequal distribution of resources among humans, which creates the rich and the poor. Unequal distribution of resources is observed among all other living beings. This is the eternal law of Life created by Nature! However, human mind explains it differently. The rich are responsible for economic inequality because they exploit the poor. The rich are like the prefix "in" in the term "inequality." Remove the prefix, and inequality becomes equality. That's why economic equality is always born on the ruins of economic inequality!Unequal distribution of resources is one of the most important natural preconditions of the existence of living beings in Nature. In a human society, it exists naturally if it imitates Nature! Nature intentionally created all of us to be different and unequal in everything to stimulate competition and the desire to improve our own wellbeing.In contrast, economic equality is the idea born in human mind! It doesn't exist in Nature! This idea exists only in a human society in which there is no place for the rich! It exists only temporarily because it contradicts human nature and is foreign to Nature. It keeps a society stable only due to v
