Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'This Ugly Civilization' is a profound and provocative critique of the industrial age and its pervasive impact on the human spirit. In this seminal work, Ralph Borsodi examines the inherent 'ugliness' of modern society-a term he uses to describe not just aesthetic decay, but the dehumanizin…g economic and social structures born from the factory system. The book argues that the relentless pursuit of mass production has stripped individuals of their autonomy, creativity, and connection to the domestic environment, resulting in a culture of dependency and spiritual exhaustion.Through a detailed analysis of the economic and psychological costs of industrialism, Borsodi explores how the prioritization of quantity over quality leads to social fragmentation. He does not merely offer a critique, however; he proposes a radical alternative centered on a decentralist philosophy. By advocating for the modern homestead and the revival of domestic production, Borsodi suggests that individuals can reclaim their independence from corporate machines and lead more aesthetic, meaningful, and self-sufficient lives.As a foundational text for the decentralist and back-to-the-land movements, 'This Ugly Civilization' remains a vital contribution to social theory. Its exploration of consumerism and its vision for a human-centric economy continue to resonate with readers interested in sustainability, economic reform, and the preservation of individual liberty.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
