Description & Specifications

One of the best books by Zygmunt Bauman. A concise presentation of the author's ideas and thoughts, a book that sheds light on the human condition in the era of "negative globalization." With a strong dose of irony, it dissembles today's world of liquid modernity, which becomes synonymous with predation.

The author addresses the degradation of democracy, the separation of power and politics, the limitation of the welfare state, and the promotion of private insecure worlds. Bauman speaks about democracy, the management of fears, the liquidity of institutions, migration, the disintegration of urban life, the dominance of the individual-consumer, the undermining of political action, solidarity, and community.

Finally, he describes utopia and the persistent and patient effort needed for its rebirth.
