The greatest threat to modern democracy comes from within and it
has a name: resentment. Stemming from feelings of inferiority in
relation to others, resentment is a diffuse and obsessive loathing,
coupled with delusions of victimhood, which clouds one's judgment
and perspective, so that an individual's capacity to act and heal
is paralyzed. Without the ability to heal, resentment can give rise
to violent impulses, to the rejection of the rule of law, the
proliferation of conspiracy theories, and the urge to use violent
means to try to regain control of one's life. As individuals and as
societies, we face the same challenge: how to diagnose resentment
and its dark forces, and how to resist the temptation to allow it
to become the motor of our individual and collective histories.
This bestselling and highly original account of the psychic forces
shaping modern societies will be of great interest to anyone
concerned about the crisis of democracy today and what we can do to
address it.
