Something is profoundly wrong with the way we think about how we should live today. In Ill Fares The Land, Tony Judt, one of our leading historians and thinkers, reveals how we have arrived at our present dangerously confused moment. Judt masterfully crystallizes what we've all been feeling into a way to think our way into, and thus out of, our great collective dis-ease about the current state of things. Tony Judt is the author of Reappraisals and Postwar.

Something is profoundly wrong with the way we think about how we should live today. In Ill Fares The Land, Tony Judt, one of our leading historians and thinkers, reveals how we have arrived at our present dangerously confused moment. Judt masterfully crystallizes what we've all been feeling into a way to think our way into, and thus out of, our great collective dis-ease about the current state of things. Tony Judt is the author of Reappraisals and Postwar.
Die Krise der Banken hat die Risiken eines entfesselten Marktes deutlich genug gezeigt. In seiner letzten großen Rede an der New York University warnte Tony Judt davor, Ideale wie Gerechtigkeit und Chancengleichheit der sogenannten Logik des Marktes zu opfern. Aus dieser Rede entstand sein letztes Buch. Eingebettet in den historischen Kontext, verteidigt er das Ideal einer gerechten Gesellschaft und Politik, und er ruft uns ins Bewusstsein, wie viel wir dem sorgenden Staat des 20. Jahrhunderts verdanken. Tony Judt erweist sich noch einmal als souveräner Kenner unserer jüngsten Geschichte und als Historiker, der seine Arbeit als Beitrag zur Aufklärung der Öffentlichkeit verstanden hat.
