The sane society - Hardcover
In a true continuation of his thoughts in "Escape from Freedom," Dr. Fromm examines man's escape into over-conformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society. Then, affirmatively, he discusses the goals of a society in which the emphasis is on man and on social measures which would further his function as a responsible individual. This book is also, in many ways, an answer to Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents."
