Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinises the cultural shifts regarding the ownership of property and wealth and questions what it means to be a woman in a rapidly changing world. The author presents intriguing ideas on how the concept of ownership has evolved from a religious significance to a source of religious debate. By exploring the changing attitudes of different generations towards possessions and financial pursuits, the book delves into the tension between traditional values and modern boredom, especially among young people who are increasingly seeing the acquisition of property as a chore rather than a thrilling adventure. The author argues that this shift in perspective is significant and may have far-reaching consequences for society. The book provides a thought-provoking examination of this evolving relationship between humanity and ownership, leaving readers to ponder the meaning and purpose of possessions in our lives.
