Sobre IBD

This text looks at modern capitalist societies to understand what it is that might be wrong for individuals. Schmitt focuses specifically on those who are alienated-those persons who have difficulty finding meaning in their lives, who lack confidence in themselves and trust in others and, finally, who are constantly distracted by consumer society.
