Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the psychological origins and social impact of reformism, specifically analyzing the anti-alcohol movement as a case study. The author contends that reformism is less about idealism and more about a psychological condition he terms "meddling hysteria," which arises from an inhibition of normal sexual life and manifests through a morbid interest in the private lives of others. Such inhibition fuels a desire to control and punish, which reformers satisfy through meddling in the lives of others. The author draws parallels between reformers and religious fanatics, highlighting their shared moral certitude and disregard for individual autonomy. Ultimately, this book challenges the notion of reform as a purely benevolent force, exposing the potential for hypocrisy and abuse within certain reformist movements.
