Publisher's Synopsis
The Mercenary Spirit is a book written by Charles Wagner that explores the concept of mercenary behavior and its impact on society. The author argues that the mercenary spirit, which is characterized by a focus on personal gain and profit at the expense of others, has become pervasive in modern society and is responsible for many of the world's problems. Wagner draws on historical examples, such as the rise of mercenary armies in medieval Europe, to illustrate the dangers of this mindset. He also examines contemporary issues, such as the exploitation of natural resources and the financialization of the economy, to show how the mercenary spirit continues to shape our world today. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the mercenary spirit. Topics include the psychology of greed, the ethics of profit-making, and the role of corporations in society. Wagner also offers suggestions for how individuals and communities can resist the influence of the mercenary spirit and work towards a more just and equitable world. Overall, The Mercenary Spirit is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to reconsider their values and priorities in a world that often prioritizes profit over people.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Simple Life, by Charles Wagner.
