Recommendation
Do you have enough? If you are like most people in the industrialized world, you don’t think you do. This isn’t your fault. Capitalism makes you feel that way by bombarding you with constant messages telling you that what you have is insufficient. No matter how much you work, you will never accumulate enough to be satisfied. While you are working and buying more, life passes you by. According to economic historian Robert Skidelsky and his philosopher son, Edward, society should offer a better alternative. They present an unconventional – some would say utopian, at best, and totalitarian, at worst – path to “the good life.” getAbstract recommends their intelligent, impassioned, provocative treatise to those who wonder if materialism is necessary to the good life.
