Summary

In the New York Times bestselling book The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis poses this question: “What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?” All across all government departments, the same story plays out: The Trump appointees were few and far between. Those who showed up for the job were disturbingly uninformed about their new functions and how their workplace operates. Some of them even threw away the briefing books that the staff prepared for them. Lewis takes us to the engine rooms of the government that is under attack by its own leaders. There are unsung heroes – the public servants whose dedication, knowledge and proactivity keep the government machinery going. Lewis finds them and asks these heroes what keeps them up at night.

    The renowned psychoanalyst Erich Fromm not only analyzed society and societal processes. Together with Michael Maccoby he did a study of Mexican peasants to empirically illustrate how historical, economic and social requirements determine behavior.  Social Character in a Mexican Village does much more than introduce a new approach to the analysis of social phenomena. It throws new light on one of the world’s most pressing problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the traditional character of peasants. Unanimously the book is an outstanding introduction to Fromm’s concept of social character.
