Why Is It Getting Worse?
How to Improve Society Using Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs Theory” and Bonhoeffer’s “Theory of Stupidity”
Why does the world keep regressing despite all our progress?
Every scroll through the news raises the same haunting question —
and most of us have stopped asking it out loud.
In this landmark work, Juan Rodulfo fuses Abraham Maslow’s
Hierarchy of Needs with Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s
Theory of Stupidity to build a diagnostic you can
actually use. Not to despair — but to act. If you’ve ever felt
that something is profoundly broken and no one will say it plainly,
this book was written for you.
From $37.19
