Description
Los enemigos del comercio offers the first comprehensive history of communism, contextualizing its stages while revealing the parallel evolution of individualism and liberal thought. Following the investigative thread of contextualizing those who, throughout history, have maintained that property is theft and commerce its instrument, Antonio Escohotado thoroughly reviews the situations and arguments opposed to the consumer society in which we have recently settled, which dominated political and moral discourse from the mid-19th century to the late 20th century.
This final volume confirms an unprecedented investigation in global literature, bringing to completion the proposal to trace the genesis and evolution of the thesis against property up to the present day, with evaluative neutrality as its guiding principle. If Volume I analyzed its development up to the French Revolution, and Volume II covered events up to the early years of the 20th century, this third volume addresses the rise of Lenin through to the latest communist movements that emerged worldwide after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the USSR.
