The Madness of Crowds

In his new bestselling book, The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray examines the twenty-first century’s most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology, and race. He reveals the astonishing new culture wars playing out in our workplaces, universities, schools, and homes in the names of social justice, identity politics, and intersectionality. We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed. In their place have emerged a crusading desire to right perceived wrongs and weaponization of identity—both accelerated by the new forms of social and news media. Narrow sets of interests now dominate the agenda as society becomes more and more tribal---and as Murray shows---the casualties are mounting.
