Escape from Freedom, a landmark work by Erich Fromm, explores the forces that shape modern society and the causes of authoritarian systems. First published in 1941, this influential book remains as relevant today as it was upon its initial release.

By examining the relationship between democracy and the human condition, Fromm reveals the ways in which freedom can lead to feelings of alienation and dehumanization.
