Our Malady by Timothy Snyder
Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Diary
A series of essays arguing that the condition of a society’s health care and other caring institutions reveals the strength of its liberty, showing how the United States’ fragmented, market-driven approach to medicine and declining public institutions undermines social solidarity and prepares the ground for political decay; the book traces historical and contemporary examples to show that refusing collective responsibility for the sick and vulnerable corrodes democratic norms and invites authoritarian solutions, and it calls for renewed public commitment to institutions and practices that protect common life.
