The Madness of Crowds. How the World Went Mad from Tolerance and Attempts to Please Everyone.

 

In "The Madness of Crowds," Douglas Murray explores the dangers of "cancel culture" and the rise of identity politics, which increasingly become not a way to protect the oppressed but a tool to punish dissenters. He addresses such controversial issues... of modernity as sexuality, gender, race, and the influence of technology on our behavior online, where we should relearn forgiveness and compassion. Douglas Murray is one of the few authors brave enough to challenge the prevailing public opinion and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment surgery for children to how the rights of transgender people affect women. Murray's insightful book restores common sense amidst the chaos of modern moral dilemmas.
