'Lucid, smartly written ... A welcome intervention into the debate surrounding the future of liberalism' Financial Times

'It takes scholarly courage and knowledge to upend Adam Smith, but this is what Krzysztof Pelc has done . . . Profound and brilliant' Robert Skidelsky

'A fascinating book, bursting with paradoxes, riddles and counterintuitive ideas that will challenge some of your strongest beliefs about how society works' Daniel Susskind

We've learned that the way to get ahead is through strong will, grit and naked ambition. The belief that self-interest makes the world go round has served us well: it has helped make our society more affluent. But does that premise still hold?

In Beyond Self-Interest, Krzysztof Pelc argues that those who prosper increasingly do so by spurning prosperity, or by convincing others that they are pursuing passion, purpose, love of craft - anything but their own self-advancement. From the Puritans, who followed a religious calling and yet made a killing; to the fastest-growing firms of today, who claim to be 'changing to the world' through 'doing what they love', declaring passion over profit is a profitable move.

A bold, incisive and original work that draws on three centuries of intellectual thought, Beyond Self-Interest is a book to upend how we relate to capitalism. What if the true driver of market society is not the appearance of self-interest, but its opposite?

Why the Market Rewards Those Who Reject It

Beyond Self-Interest

In "Principles of Mohammadan Law," William Hay MacNaghten presents a comprehensive analysis of Islamic jurisprudence, meticulously dissecting its foundational principles and legal frameworks. The work is marked by a clear, methodical style that aims to bridge the complex doctrines of Sharia with practical applications in legal contexts. In this scholarly endeavor, MacNaghten situates Islamic law within the broader spectrum of legal theories, highlighting its historical developments and its intersections with Western legal traditions, thereby offering a rich literary contribution in the field of comparative law. William Hay MacNaghten, a prominent figure in the study of Islamic law during the 19th century, drew upon his extensive background in law and a deep engagement with Eastern cultures to craft this pivotal work. His legal acumen was enriched by his experiences in British India, where he encountered the intricacies of Mohammadan law first-hand. This unique perspective allowed him to weave in both theoretical and practical insights, making the book a crucial resource for understanding the dynamics of Islamic legal principles. This book is highly recommended for legal scholars, students of Islamic studies, and practitioners interested in the complexities of law across cultures. MacNaghten's clear exposition and insightful analysis serve as a valuable guide for anyone seeking to grasp the fundamental tenets of Mohammadan law in a global context.

In "English Law and the Renaissance," Frederic William Maitland presents a profound exploration of the intersection between legal development and the cultural rebirth of the Renaissance in England. Using meticulous historical analysis and a sophisticated literary style, Maitland discusses how the Renaissance influenced legal thought and institutions, marking a significant turn in legal historiography. His work pays particular attention to the emergence of common law and the nuances of legal terminology, revealing the dynamic relationship between evolving societal values and legal frameworks during this transformative period. Frederic William Maitland (1850-1906), a prominent legal historian and scholar, played a crucial role in shaping the modern understanding of English legal history. His educational background at Trinity College, Cambridge, and his experiences as a barrister informed his meticulous approach to legal history. Maitland's unique perspective combines rigorous academic research with a deep appreciation for the cultural and intellectual currents of his time, allowing him to weave a compelling narrative that situates law within the broader tapestry of Renaissance thought. This book is an indispensable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the evolution of English law within its historical context. Maitland's insightful analysis not only enriches our understanding of legal history but also illuminates the enduring impact of the Renaissance on contemporary legal systems.
