| book description |

The N° 1 Sunday Times Bestseller. Las masas se han vuelto locas. Basta con seguir las redes sociales o los medios de comunicación para ser testigos de la histeria colectiva en la que se ha convertido el debate político. Cada día alguien nuevo clama que algo le ha ofendido: un cartel que cosifica, una conferencia que debe ser censurada, una palabra que degrada. Vivimos en la tiranía de la corrección política, en un mundo sin género, ni razas ni sexo y en el que proliferan las personas que se confiesan víctimas de algo (el heteropatriarcado, la bifobia o el racismo). Ser víctima es ya una aspiración, una etiqueta que nos eleva moralmente y que nos ahorra tener que argumentar nada. Pero como nos recuerda Douglas Murray en este polémico libro que ha sido menospreciado por la izquierda biempensante y que se ha convertido en un fenómeno de ventas sin precedente en el Reino Unido: «La víctima no siempre tiene razón, no siempre tiene que caernos bien, no siempre merece elogio y, de hecho, no siempre es víctima». Con un estilo provocador y una estructura argumentativa sin fisuras, el autor trata de introducir algo de sentido común en el debate público, al tiempo que aboga con vehemencia por valores como la libertad de expresión y la serenidad actuales. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The N° 1 Sunday Times Bestseller. A Times and Sunday Times Book of the Year ""Douglas Murray fights the good fight for freedom of speech ... A truthful look at today's most divisive issues"" - Jordan B. Peterson ""[Murray's] latest book is beyond brilliant and should be read, must be read, by everyone"" - Richard Dawkins Are we living through the great derangement of our times? In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of 'woke' culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of 'wokeness', the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive. One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society - from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women - Murray's penetrating book, now published with a new afterword taking account of the book's reception and responding to the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.
