Is desire itself desirable? Should we let our desires run unchecked, especially the passionate desires for wealth, fame, praise, power and physical pleasure? Or should we try to eliminate them? Set up as a lively debate between the best thinkers of today and yesterday, Alternative Values offers strong arguments―some logical, some empirical, some emotional, some deeply and inexpressibly intuitive―on each side of this debate. An excellent guide for the young (and not so young) who must sort out these issues for themselves, and a wonderful resource for business leaders and public speakers.

Philosophy

Alexander Skutch―world famous ornithologist, philosopher and author of over 30 books―believed that to build a satisfying moral edifice we need an ample and firm foundation. Moral Foundations brilliantly lays out for the reader the ways in which we are products of harmonization, a process that unites the crude elements of the world in harmonious patterns, A tour de force of analysis and critical thinking, Moral Foundations is also an important contribution to the study of ethics and philosophy.

SKUTCH, ALEXANDER

Are the rich compatible with democracy? Should we accept such a high degree of inequality in our society? Does the profit system glorify greed? In /Are the Rich Necessary?/ Hunter Lewis presents the most fundamental and provocative economic arguments that underlie society. Lewis connects economics directly with profound contemporary social issues. How are our personal values reflected in these issues and how do we choose between contending economic approaches? Most importantly, can philanthropy play a strategic role in helping people to lift themselves from poverty? Lewis offers a dramatic new proposal to significantly increase contributions to charitable organizations to help address key social issues. A challenging and sure to be influential book.

Bruce Cook of the Washington Post Book World has written that: Bohemia has become an acceptable, even desirable lifestyle all around America, and indeed the world over. But to understand how this happened, how an alternative lifestyle became so mainstream, and also to visit what many consider to be Bohemia's golden age, there is no better source than Gold.
