summary
The Sane Society by Erich Fromm is a profound exploration of modern capitalist society’s impact on human nature. Fromm, a renowned social psychologist and humanist philosopher, argues that alienation is an inherent result of capitalism, which emphasizes material wealth over genuine human relationships. Through an incisive critique, he calls for a shift towards a “humanistic society” that prioritizes individual well-being, creativity, and community, providing both a psychological analysis and a call for systemic change. The book remains a critical read for anyone interested in psychology, sociology, and the pursuit of a more meaningful life in a seemingly irrational world.
