The Cynical Society(English, Paperback, Goldfarb Jeffrey C.) is written by Goldfarb Jeffrey C. and published by The University of Chicago Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0226301079 (ISBN 10) and 9780226301075 (ISBN 13).
The Cynical Society is a study of the political despair and abdication of (individual) responsibility Goldfarb calls cynicism-a central but unexamined aspect of contemporary American political and social life. Goldfarb reveals with vivid strokes how cynicism undermines our capacity to think about society's strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on thinkers from Alexis de Tocqueville to Allan Bloom and on such recent works as Beloved, Bonfire of the Vanities, and Mississippi Burning, The Cynical Society celebrates cultural pluralism's role in democracy.
