«To Have or to Be?» is Erich Fromm's philosophy essay, published by Bantam Books in paperback (203 pages, in English).
The essay presents two modes of existence: having, based on possession and consumption, and being, oriented toward experience and personal development. Fromm argues that the predominance of the former leads to a psychological and ecological crisis, and proposes the traits of a new society and a new individual.
Work originally published in 1976; this Bantam Books paperback edition is dated 1981. Commercial records also classify it under psychology and sociology.
For readers interested in philosophy, social psychology, and the critique of consumer society.
