The physical sciences smoothly fit together: mathematics into physics, physics into chemistry, chemistry into biochemistry, biochemistry into biology which in turn leads to psychology. The humanities, on the other hand: philosophy, ethics, political science, economics and sociology, are altogether more fragmented...

...until now...

For the first to time ever, a single philosophical work has been developed that smoothly covers the full span of: epistemology (theory of knowledge) ethics, political science and economics. In the process, the nature of ethics is clarified, human rights are placed on a objective foundation and a conception of political legitimacy is developed that both secures our crucial freedoms, is elegant and clear, while at the same time will not lead us headlong into numerous wars all over the world. This then leads to a theory of economics that is equitable, productive, has a clear and simple tax policy, will reduce homelessness and with stabilize the boom and bust cycles that our economy is currently locked in.

For those both interested in a more coherent framework of principle that spans across multiple fields and those interested in philosophy that solves practical problems this book serves as indispensable reading material that combines philosophical rigour with a relative scarcity of jargon in most places.
