In The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray explores the dangers of “cancel culture” and the rise of identity politics, which are increasingly becoming not a way to protect the oppressed, but a tool to punish dissent. He addresses controversial contemporary issues such as sexuality, gender, race and the impact of technology on our behavior online, where we must relearn forgiveness and compassion. Douglas Murray is one of the few authors who dares to challenge prevailing public opinion and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment surgery for children to how transgender rights affect women. Murray's insightful book brings common sense back to the chaos of today's complex moral dilemmas.
