The time for change
is decidedly pessimistic vision of Paul Ginsborg in today's society, and how not to support this pessimism, if today is a sovereign individualism around the world? The problem is mainly because of ethical concerns. The economic system that sustains us, the production model that is at the low population, was inspired by a logic of profit. In contrast to the historian Francis Fukuyama, Ginsborg compares the modernity of today in an unstoppable freight train, but that "must be filled with other goods," and that "the tracks on which travelers must radically change direction." Our daily life is composed of a succession of continuous consumption, - says Ginsborg - requires each product purchased, upstream, our choice. And the amount of individual choices can result in a striking cumulative effect. . Its is therefore a simple invitation to blur our selfish individualism, and to ensure that everyone feels part of a community, a "civil society" careful and responsible, able to guide and stimulate with their choices, the "company policy", often late, or indifferent, or worse, complicit in fault. In short, it's time for a change: it's time to reward the party of intelligence and morals, and when it is missing, instead of acting suo.Il book I really liked because it explains the facts of which we are always aware of. However, it is sometimes a bit 'difficult to understand, because it uses terms not common and regular articles. Ginsborg certainly can move the conscience of all and make you feel a member of society and not just individual.
