Synopsis

This book analyzes the historical elements that contribute to the social problems we face today. It argues that our civilization is a hybrid, influenced by Hebrew ethics and religion, Greek and Roman culture, and ancient Teutonic traditions. The author posits that many of the problems we face today stem from the conflicting ideas and ideals that have been passed down to us from these diverse sources. The book explores the role of materialism, individualism, nationalism, and class conflict in creating social disharmony. It argues that we must find a way to reconcile these conflicting elements in order to build a more just and sustainable society. By understanding the historical roots of our social problems, we can begin to develop solutions that will address their underlying causes.
