Together with previous work dedicated to the oath and political justice, this book brings out an impressive work of interpretation with which Prodi has investigated and revealed some deep constitutive features of European civilization, that the mental structures, social, economic and legal reforms that have allowed entry European society in modernity. These pages show that since the Middle Ages the market has established itself as an autonomous subject, location independent valuation of the assets. With the market changing concepts of wealth and property and also the concept of theft, understood as a violation of "fair price" and the rules of the market. The formation of a separate economic from political power, and continues in this dialectic, was what allowed not only the birth of industrial civilization, but also the birth of constitutional freedoms and rights. Looking back a thousand years, "Seventh shall not steal" ends up question on the crisis in which this civilization seems irreversibly entry today.
