The social pathology of land grabs -- pt. 3. Structures of violence -- pt. 4. Healing humanity.Drawing on case studies of organized violence—ranging from territorial wars and colonial conquests to non-state variants such as organized crime—this record offers a general theory to account for the use of force in both the state and civil sectors of society. Challenging the popular views that the dominant forms of violence are due to failings of human nature, this volume suggests that the laws and institutions favoring an approach to property rights that encourage rent seeking are responsible. Addressing issues such as genocide and the gap between the rich and poor, this record proposes policies to dismantle the incentives that nurture the resort to violence by redistributing power to the individual.Political violenceViolenceHistoryPolitical violence.ViolenceHistory.303.6/2;320.12;322.42Harrison Fred1098717MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814968103321The predator culture3974636UNINA
