Perhaps most important, he demonstrates that not only the impetus toward a totalitarian regime but also the egalitarian impulse in democratic societies are alike in being rooted in envy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liberty Fund","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45409959149719,"sku":"9780865970649","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780865970649.webp?v=1767312187","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/envy-a-theory-of-social-behaviour-9780865970649","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
