Synopsis

This insightful book argues that poverty and greed are the primary causes of crime. Exploring the historical and modern context of these issues, the author argues that charity and education, while well-intentioned, are inadequate to address the problem. The root cause of poverty, they argue, is a lack of contentment among the masses. The author believes contentment is only achieved when basic needs, such as food and shelter, are met, along with a healthy work-life balance. The author posits that only by addressing poverty and greed can we effectively reduce crime. This book offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the causes of crime, and the solutions needed to create a more just and equitable society.
