Summary "Tolstoy's Interpretation of Money and Property" by Milivoy S. Stanoyevich is a scholarly publication that engages with the philosophical and economic views of the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Written in the early 20th century, this text delves into Tolstoy's radical perspectives on the concepts of money and property, arguing that they are tools of oppression and exploitation in society. The book serves as an analysis of Tolstoy's ideas, particularly as they relate to social reform, against the backdrop of contemporary economic theories. In this work, Stanoyevich examines Tolstoy's belief that money is a form of modern slavery, a mechanism that perpetuates inequality and enables one group to exploit another. He critiques established economic definitions of money and property, presenting Tolstoy's assertion that true wealth should derive from labor, not from the accumulation of possessions or capital. The text discusses how Tolstoy perceives property as the root of societal evils, advocating for communal ownership as a remedy for social injustice. Through a historical lens, Stanoyevich connects Tolstoy's thoughts to various philosophical traditions, including those of Aristotle and Rousseau, while highlighting the impracticality and utopian nature of Tolstoy's proposals within a complex, modern economic landscape.
