Summary:
The book delves into the challenges facing modern capitalist societies, including deepening economic divides, cultural tensions, and the erosion of ethical norms. It proposes pragmatic solutions to rebuild communities, reform capitalism, and bridge social divides through a blend of ethical social policies, stronger government interventions, and a renewed sense of shared responsibility.
Key points:
1. New Anxieties: Collier notes three main worries in modern societies: the gap between city elites and others, the divide between educated and less educated, and the disparity between rich and poor countries. These issues harm community unity and democracy.
