The Need to Be Whole

In The Need to Be Whole, Wendell Berry continues his advocacy for the marginalized by exploring how the wealth of a privileged few has been built on the unpaid labor of others. He emphasizes the importance of understanding our historical practices of dispossession, including the displacement of Native peoples and ongoing racial divisions, to avoid perpetuating the adverse effects of industrialism. Berry suggests that reflecting on our past may guide us towards a healthier future aligned with natural laws and genuine compassion. This audiobook is a crucial contribution to a vital national conversation about our shared history and its implications.
