Economic Theory

One of the most influential books on economics ever written, Thomas Robert Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population remains one of the most controversial too. This 1798 work inspired naturalists Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace to develop the theory of natural selection. But it has also sparked criticism - Karl Marx famously called Malthus a "lackey of the bourgeoisie." Yet this hasn't stopped leading present-day environmentalists from taking up Malthus's ideas.

En este breve ensayo, ¿Qué es el Dinero?, Tolstói analiza el dinero no solo como herramienta económica, sino como símbolo de poder y desigualdad.

Para él, el sistema económico moderno es inmoral porque legitima la explotación y aleja al ser humano de una vida sencilla y justa.

En 1908, il adapte le texte de Ruskin en gujarati, lui donnant alors le titre de "Sarvodaya", le bien-être de chacun, qui devint aussi le nom de sa philosophie.
