The book explores the roots of the widespread anger and discontent seen in the modern world, tracing them back to the Enlightenment and the subsequent rise of individualism and capitalism. It examines how these historical developments have led to feelings of alienation and resentment, particularly among those who feel left behind by globalization and modernization. Through a historical and philosophical lens, the author connects the rise of nationalism, fundamentalism, and populism to these deep-seated grievances, offering a comprehensive analysis of the psychological and social dynamics fueling contemporary unrest.
