Description
To Have Or To Be? by Erich Fromm is a seminal work that presents a compelling vision for a new social and psychological revolution. At its core, the book explores two fundamental modes of existence: the having mode, which prioritizes material possessions and power, and the being mode, based on love, sharing, and productive activity. Fromm argues that these two modes are in constant conflict, with the having mode driving universal evils such as greed, envy, and violence. In contrast, the being mode offers a path towards socioeconomic change and a more harmonious world. This thought-provoking book is a powerful call to action for those seeking a better future. Published in 2013, To Have Or To Be? remains a timely and important work that challenges readers to rethink their values and priorities.
