"In this wide-ranging and provocative book, Džalto masterfully synthesizes a set of urgent insights from moral philosophy, social science, and humanist common senseIt raises urgent questions for citizens, scholars and practitioners alike on their roles in perpetuating a needlessly cruel and irrational social system. Džalto stimulates the reader to reconceptualize her understanding of society and human nature as such, hopping effortlessly from the contemporary health crisis to 18th Century debates over Lutheranism to underline recurring themes and category errors. Reminiscent of Albert Hirschman’s Passions and the Interests and Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class, this important work resurrects the forgotten debates over capitalist ideology and democratic community – all with the passion and humor of a young Karl Marx. The tired debate over the tension between democracy and capitalism has received a glaring rejuvenation in this extraordinary treatise."
