Our world has become shaky. We live in a time of crises and calamities: the Calamity Era. In this book, philosopher and comedian Tim Fransen examines our current era. He shows how progress thinking has misled us and asks: how do we restore the social foundations that have been damaged as a result? What commitment is needed from us citizens to create a sustainable society and become a decisive democracy again? And what role do morality and justice play in this? Fransen takes the reader in tow past great philosophers and surprising thinkers and comes up with concrete ideas to turn the tide. With In Our Time he offers tools for a resilient society in which there is once again plenty of hope.
For the readers of Rutger Bregman
