Description:
<DIV><B>A <I>New York Times</I> bestseller about overcoming the profound ills of modern society by a legendary social psychologist, the author of <I>Escape from Freedom</I>.</B><BR />  </DIV><DIV>One of Fromm’s main interests was to analyze social systems and their impact on the mental health of the individual. In this study, he reaches further and asks: “Can a society be sick?” He finds that it can, arguing that Western culture is immersed in a “pathology of normalcy” that affects the mental health of individuals.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>In <I>The Sane Society</I>, Fromm examines the alienating effects of modern capitalism, and discusses historical and contemporary alternatives, particularly communitarian systems. Finally, he presents new ideas for a re-organization of economics, politics, and culture that would support the individual’s mental health and our profound human needs for love and freedom.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV>
