Plato's Children by Anthony O'hear
Looking at the icons of modern culture, this book investigates what has happened to our society where mediocrity is celebrated. It argues that modern culture is creating a world of ideas in which truthfulness, responsibility, talent and achievements have started to mean less and less.
