À propos de cet audio

Here is a searing account - probably the best yet published - of life in the underclass and why it persists as it does.

Theodore Dalrymple, a British psychiatrist who treats the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England, has seemingly seen it all. Yet in listening to and observing his patients, he is continually astonished by the latest twist of depravity that exceeds even his own considerable experience. Dalrymple's key insight in Life at the Bottom is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics, but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for victims. This culture persuades those at the bottom that they have no responsibility for their actions and are not the molders of their own lives.

Drawn from the pages of the cutting-edge political and cultural quarterly City Journal, Dalrymple's book draws upon scores of eye-opening, true-life vignettes that are by turns hilariously funny, chillingly horrifying, and all too revealing - sometimes all at once. And Dalrymple writes in prose that transcends journalism and achieves the quality of literature.

If, during the COVID-19 pandemic, you've watched in bewilderment the collective Western craze that's pushed public health aside to "advocate" for the elimination of police and prisons, the criminalization of family and church gatherings, the sanctification of public protests and riots, the victimization of everyone ridding themselves of personal responsibility, the polarization of what is supposed to be balanced and disinterested scientific dialogue, and the banalization of education with aggressive political agendas, then this book will certainly help you make sense of it with Dr. Daniels' eloquent, amusing, well-constructed and well-paced exposé of the philosophical underpinnings of today's movement(s).

An antidote to Western confusion

What this author says in this book would most probably not be able to be printed today. The Liberal Elites by denying human nature, continue their disastrous prescriptions for correcting what ails western societies, which today is manifest and continues in the wholesale adoption of so called Woke Critical Theories by those in power. Dalrymple was before his time and his description of the attitudes and failures of the policies of the Elite now called Progressives, continues unabated.

Interesting and thought provoking

Brilliant book on the true ills of Western Society. This book pairs well with "Intellectuals and Society " by Thomas Sowell.

Masterfully Written and Narrated
