"This little four-chapter book is valuable because it engages with
aspects of that theory that are not readily available to an
English-speaking audience. There is a useful range of references to
existing French debates in the book, and the book is a good
contribution to these debates, and so also as a consequence to some
parallel debates in the English-speaking world."

"In this fascinating book, Dany-Robert Dufour shows the dangers
we are facing in a society that promotes excessive individualism.
This book enables us to understand why it is not a contradiction to
feel increasingly dissatisfied in a society which seemingly offers
an abundance of freedom and choice. In a cunning way, today's
consumerist ideology actually thrives on our dissatisfactions. This
book gives us the tools to understand and fight against it."
