The Monarchy of Fear

In The Monarchy of Fear, renowned philosopher Martha C. Nussbaum analyzes the current political crisis in America, emphasizing the emotional roots of division and partisanship that arose notably after the 2016 election. She explores how feelings of powerlessness, fueled by globalization, lead to a pervasive culture of blame across the political spectrum. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, Nussbaum offers insights into understanding these dynamics and presents a thoughtful roadmap for healing a fractured society.
