About the Book

This book is about the search for world peace and development. Karl Marx and Max Webber are two outstanding intellectuals whose analysis about human institutions, behavioral formation, disequilibria, and organizational demise are unsurpassed. Webber, following the tradition of the ancient Greek intellectuals and modern European thinkers of the enlightenment era had concluded that ideas are fundamental in determining all social outcomes. Marx, on the other hand, saw all social outcomes resulting from conflict of materialism. The application of these two giant intellectuals’ theories and many others has not solved societies’ institutional inadequacies. Henceforth, this book is to fill the gap for generations after the twentieth century in solving social institutional morbidity.

It goes further to challenge all traditional religious explanations about the justification of how one religion differs from the other. It is an attempt to eliminate religious rancor in the world. The study therefore covers areas like conflict, hatred, behavioural formation, social change, permanent schism, racism, poverty, women’s issues, and development.
