＞ Material comfort wins every time So, people don't want to be miserable ? This book promotion piece spends so much time dancing around the ideas that: - people have priorities, and food and shelter is high on the list - no idealogy is uncorruptible nor safe from being radicalized Saying an ideal didn't stop wars is kind of a dumb statement IMO.
