Features: It is an exceptionally unusual book, which can be called a sociological study of jealousy with the status of a classic work, no less noble in style than Comte, Spencer, Menger, Marx, and Engels. It is an excellent and highly valuable book, written exceptionally well, and few German writers can achieve such clarity and conciseness. It is an inspiring and rare achievement! It bursts some ideological balloons cherished by sociologists, a clear book that is both elegant and satirical, and compellingly presents dissenting perspectives.
