THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Updated with a new afterword
"An excellent take on the lunacy affecting much of the world today. Douglas is one of the bright lights that could lead us out of the darkness." – Joe Rogan
"Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues" – Jordan B. Peterson
Are we living through the great derangement of our times?
In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.
One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society – from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women – Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
Customer Reviews
Wow!
So many questions have been answered. I think this book has to be taught in our schools.
I still feel confused as to why many books and movies have been removed, why racism now is only one way, why some of us are not allowed to speak out or have our own opinions? I grew up during communism. I witnessed when family and friends were thrown in jail when they disagreed with one another about political or religious issues. How is it different right now? We loose our jobs, we are ridiculed, etc…. God forbid we have an opinion.
