Is civilization a disease?

"Is Civilization a Disease?" by Stanton Coit is a thought-provoking exploration of whether what we call civilization is actually good for humanity. Written in 1917, the book examines civilization's moral problems, diving into trade and social systems. Imagine civilization not as progress, but as something that hurts us, using examples from history and philosophy to show how it might be based on unfairness. The author looks closely at how our economy and government might be hurting people instead of helping them, suggesting that putting community first could lead to a better world.
