In this study, he reaches further and asks: &ldquo;Can a society be sick?&rdquo; He finds that it can, arguing that Western culture is immersed in a &ldquo;pathology of normalcy&rdquo; that affects the mental health of individuals.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>In&#160;<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&rsquo;s mental health and our profound human needs for love and freedom.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV>
