The Parable of the Tribes
The Problem of Power in Social Evolution
Book •
In 'The Parable of the Tribes', Andrew Bard Schmookler presents a thought-provoking examination of how power has shaped human history and societal development.
The book uses a parable to illustrate how the presence of power inevitably leads to a competitive and often destructive dynamic among groups, influencing the course of social evolution.
Schmookler argues that this fundamental aspect of human interaction has significant implications for understanding conflict, cooperation, and the future of human societies.
