Feature
★ Deciphers modern dilemmas—such as bureaucratic stagnation, reform traps, and dangers of stock market overstimulation—by revealing the risks of ignoring classical wisdom.

★ A must-read for policymakers, academics, and anyone seeking deeper understanding of modern societal challenges.
Description
Some may argue that revisiting these classic works is pointless because times have changed.
Yet, astonishingly, understanding the modern world requires grasping the insights of these classical texts. Moreover, many of today’s failures stem precisely from neglecting this timeless wisdom—whether it’s organizational stagnation due to bureaucracy, pitfalls hidden in "radical reforms," or the dangers of artificially boosting stock markets.
This book offers a lucid and practical interpretation of social science perspectives that are both intellectually rigorous and highly applicable.
