This is a great tonic for when you find yourself slipping into complete despair, cynicism and grief about the state of the world. It’s a good reminder about how much comfort we seek in certainty and how doomsdaying and hopelessness achieves just that, while aspiring for change and meaning actually takes more courage. Also a great reminder of the non-linear nature of social progress and the ways in which success is often invisible while failure or shortcoming is illuminated in efforts to drive change. It’s hard to find good-faith critiques of the left and this is a very gentle and well-intentioned one. Good to read when everything in the world feels sad and hard.

Un libro para esos momentos en donde uno pierde la fe en la humanidad. Muy interesante y creo que esta al alcance de la comprensión de cualquiera. Para volver a leer cada tanto.
