Riassunto

Smart, funny, and fresh, The Barbaric Heart argues that the present environmental crisis will not be resolved by the same forms of crony capitalism and managerial technocracy that created the crisis in the first place. With his trademark wit, White argues that the solution might very well come from an unexpected quarter: the arts, religion, and the realm of the moral imagination.

Recensione:

“The Barbaric Heart of an adolescent nation stews in its own entropy, and we wonder why the center does not hold. Our mind games stand behind the devastation of place and economy. I’ve been an admirer of Curtis White for many years, and this book is a brilliant summation of his message.”
-James Howard Kunstler, Author of World Made By Hand and The Long Emergency

“Splendidly cranky.”
-Molly Ivins

“Witheringly smart, grotesquely funny, grimly comprehensive,and so moving as to be wrenching.”
-David Foster Wallace

“Refreshing malevolent irony . . . absolutely indispensable.”
-Slavoj Zizek

“White brings a great light into the darkness that has descended
upon the hope of a decent American future.”
-Lewis Lapham
