What people on Hacker News said
A little bit later he published The Sane Society, a Marxist critique of capitalist society, how consumerism leads to self-alienation etc.
It’s liberating to reflect on some of the crazy things that capitalism pressures us to do.
Erich Fromm's The Sane Society - on how society impacts people's mental health, and how to build towards a sane society
He's wonderfully BS-free, combining insights into psychology, society, work, politics etc.
