Description

Bruckner takes on the culture of copping out in this critique of a recent species of human self-deception: infantilism and victimization, the idea that powerlessness is a virtue without responsibility. This highly insightful essay dissects the culture of dependency and its damaging effects on the moral fiber of society, from corporate welfare to affirmative action.
