«Los Envidiosos» is Francesco Alberoni's essay on envy, published by GEDISA in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Envy is born when comparison with others turns one's neighbor into a hated rival; if not overcome in adolescence, it prevents maturity and forces one to sustain lies. Alberoni examines its individual and collective forms —hatred, mistrust, contempt, resentment—, identifies it as a source of wars and exclusions, and proposes overcoming it by recognizing one's own worth.
The Italian original, «Gli invidiosi», appeared in 1991; this Spanish edition was published in 1996.
Aimed at readers of philosophy and social psychology interested in understanding human passions and their impact on collective life.
Francesco Alberoni was an Italian journalist and a professor of sociology. He was a board member and senior board member (chairman) of RAI, the Italian state television network, from 2002 to 2005.
