Burnout, exhaustion, ADHD, depression: Does capitalism make us sick? Naturally, one might think, who else could it be? But is that really the case? Are we becoming increasingly ill due to daily exploitation at work? The renowned sociologist and psychologist Martin Dornes delves into this question in his book 'Does Capitalism Cause Depression? On Mental Health and Illness in Modern Societies.' He has reviewed numerous studies, compared data, read scholarly literature, and can now provide an answer - and it is thought-provoking. Anyone looking to challenge conventional thinking, who values enlightening critique, and who wants to examine their prejudices will find this book indispensable. An important study on one of the central questions of our society, a polemic that stimulates debate.
