Larceny in the Heart: The Economics of Satan and the Inflationary State
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Formerly titled The Roots of Inflation, this book was retitled and reprinted in 2002. In this concise volume, Rushdoony gives his take on the larceny in the heart of man and its results. He discusses what he poses as the outflow of this envy—class warfare and a conflicted society in which the rise of hostility and envy are seen as steps towards social progress instead of disaster. Rushdoony continues to suggest that the political solutions posited lead to an inflationary economy and an overbearing state.
For the entire set, see R.J. Rushdoony Culture and Ethics Collection (7 vols.).
