Curtis White

Spirit of Disobedience (eBook, ePUB)

Resisting the Charms of Fake Politics, Mindless Consumption, and the Culture of Total Work

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although we belong to the world's most affluent society, somehow we never have the chance to ask: How shall we live? With his trademark humour and acerbic wit, White raises this impertinent question. He also debunks the conventional view that liberalism can answer it without drawing on spiritual values.
