The Acquisitive Society is a critical socio-political work that analyzes the consequences of a society driven by individual rights and the pursuit of economic acquisition. The book argues that such an emphasis on personal gain can lead to moral and social deterioration. It critiques the disconnection between property and its function, calling for a system that values communal responsibilities over profit. The text begins by examining the mindset of society, marked by energy but lacking deeper theoretical reflection. The author stresses the importance of evaluating the moral foundations of economic activities and urges societies to reassess their values, particularly in times of crisis. There is a strong emphasis on aligning individual rights with communal duties, advocating for productive functions to be prioritized over wealth accumulation. This critique of materialism and individualism, heightened by the effects of industrialization, forms the core of the work. It calls for a restructuring of societal values, emphasizing social obligations and a more balanced approach to economic organization.
