Los Enemigos Del Comercio I by Antonio Escohotado
Tracing the recurrent hostility toward trade and property from antiquity to modern times, this volume examines how religious, philosophical and political doctrines have cast commerce as morally suspect and socially corrosive. Through historical examples and intellectual analysis, it shows how myths about greed and vice justified regulation, expropriation and persecution, and argues that market exchange and private property have been central engines of material progress, individual liberty and tolerance. The work defends commerce against moralistic prejudices while exposing the social and political consequences of its vilification.
