This is an automatically translated description

The book by Norwegian scholars D.O. Hessen and T.G. Eriksen is dedicated to the social phenomenon of competition. The authors have studied the manifestation of this phenomenon in various spheres of social life, from wildlife to politics and sports, and call it a treadmill race. Competition has both positive and negative consequences. And the task of the 21st century human being is to direct competition in the right direction in order to preserve its effect of positive change and creative development, while neutralising negative ones, such as harmful environmental impact. We live in a world of limited resources, with some resources being more valuable than others, and the struggle for the best ones is ongoing at the individual level, as well as at the level of states and their associations. Competition can lead to the extinction of a species when it drives its representatives to the point of self-destruction and can lead to environmental disasters. And it is the duty of a modern conscientious person to avoid this.
