In the original full cloth binding. An interesting book regarding the science of social opulence. Exploring topics such as political economy, wealth and capital. Sargant differs from mainstream opinion in that he regards wealth in the sense of opulence instead of property. William Lucas Sargant was an English educational reformer, political economist and Victorian agitator for social improvement. He was heavily involved in the local affairs of Birmingham, and became J.P in 1949. Sargant strongly advocated for religious teaching in schools and was a chairman of the National Association League. He dedicated much of his life to studying political and economical questions, and published several books sharing his views.
