The Fable of the Bees and Other Writings by Bernard Mandeville, E.J. Hundert

broomgrass's review

3.0

Interesting from a cultural perspective; one of the first sociological adaptations of the Hobbesian/libertine type ethos. Reminded me of older treatises like "The Feminine Monarchie" wherein the practical advice of beekeeping is mixed with practical advice about life and society, though Fable is far more focused on society.
