Philosopher and publicist Mikhail Mayatsky has been living and working in Switzerland and France for the last 15 years. His new book of essays is dedicated to the changes that are taking place before our eyes in Europe, where the industrial era was replaced by an era called by the author “resort”. Free time, “self-care” and the cult of tourism – these are the new values of Europeans that have replaced the work ethic of classical capitalism and threaten to turn Europe into both a huge museum and a sanatorium.
