In this book, Fromm analyzes the situation of man in modern industrial society and the paradoxical notion of freedom/slavery that occurs when freeing himself from the bonds of traditional society, falling prey to the new traps of consumption and cultural standardization. Erich Fromm's essays are a reference of cultural humanism that countless generations of readers have enjoyed. The fear of freedom is an analysis of consumer society whose lucidity and depth are still valid today.
Erich Seligmann Fromm was a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, sociologist, humanistic philosopher, and democratic socialist. He was a German Jew who fled the Nazi regime and settled in the United States. He was one of the founders of The William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology in New York City and was associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory.
