Описание
According to this fascinating and personal work of social commentary, the blind pursuit of profit, burgeoning class inequalities, and environmental deterioration are the dangers of our age—and strengthening community and family cohesion could be our salvation. In linking social and economic dialogues with a psychological point of view, this work uses interdisciplinary scholarship to break free of the chains of academic compartmentalization. Drawing on skilled research as well as the author's experience as an activist and caretaker, this work describes how happiness and contentment begin with vocal concern, expressed in terms of political and economic values, encouraging citizens and politicians to think in new ways about local and global issues.
