Description
We are living through a period of cultural climate change. We have outsourced morality to the markets and the state, with neither capable of bearing the moral weight of showing us how to live. This has had a profound impact on society and the way we interact with each other. Traditional values no longer hold, yet recent political swings show that modern ideals of tolerance have left many feeling rudderless and adrift. In this environment, things fall apart in unexpected ways, and it's challenging to achieve true societal progress. A devastatingly insightful critique of our modern condition, Jonathan Sacks argues that there is no liberty without morality, and no freedom without responsibility. He presents an inspiring vision of a world where we can all find our place, and face the future without fear.
