The Sane Society by Erich Fromm

4.0

Easy reading psychological critique of consumerist capitalism from 1950s, opens with an argument against cultural relativism and for considering aspects of our own society that are neurotic. Very good middle on the alienating and idolatrous effects of modern capitalism on individuals and human relationships. Unexpectedly ends with a call for communitarian small-scale socialism as exemplified by industrial worker collectives in France & Spain.
