Where the former dealt with mans 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.
