Systems of Survival

In Systems of Survival, Jane Jacobs delves into the moral values that shape our working lives by identifying two distinct moral syndromes: one governing commerce and the other politics. She examines the conflicts that arise when these systems intersect, addressing topics like business fraud, government subsidies, and systemic abuses by transit police. Through her insightful analysis, Jacobs encourages a reevaluation of our public transactions and invites us to better align our natural inclinations with ethical practices.
