Following the publication of the seminal Fear of Freedom Erich Fromm applied his unique vision to a critique of contemporary capitalism in The Sane Society Where the former dealt with man's historic inability to come to terms with his sense of isolation & the dangers to which this can lead The Sane Society took his theories one step further In doing so it established Fromm as one of the most controversial political thinkers of his generation Anaylsing how individuals conform to contemporary capitalist & patriarchal societies the book was published to wide acclaim & even wider disapproval It was a scathing indictment of modern capitalism & as such proved unwelcome to many Unwelcome because much of what Fromm had to say was true Today as we settle into the challenges of the 21st century Fromm's writings are just as relevant as when they were first written Read it & decide for yourself
- are you living in a sane society?
