Book excerpt: There are some inevitable questions to be considered for all the people living in the world, especially for those who cherish the freedom and like thinking independently. Is there a justification to act as a basis for restricting the behavior of others? Is there a valid reason to explain that a person has more property than others? What is the specific relationship between individual political power and wealth? Why are some people in the world desperate for luxury while others are trapped in poverty? Or what exactly should a real ideal world look like? The above problems have been the subject of human thinking since the oldest philosophical era, and modern political philosophy and economics are also built on the basis of directly answering these questions. If these problems cannot be effectively resolved, not only will the legitimacy of the regime be questioned, but the social contradictions derived from it will even threaten to overthrow the civilization. There is no reason to believe that the future will be better than it is now, and history has already given negative answers many times. From the reality of the world's development, we seem to be once again at the critical juncture of historical choice.
