Exploring the paradox of thriving under capitalism while facing its criticism, the author examines the historical and philosophical roots of economic systems, referencing figures like Adam Smith and Karl Marx. Through a journey that spans various cultures and ideologies, he highlights the disconnect between human evolutionary instincts and modern economic realities. The book critiques the moral framing of economic issues, particularly climate change, and argues that capitalism can enhance human connections rather than undermine them, ultimately revealing the complexities of our economic beliefs.
