Author: Jonathan Sacks
In Morality, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks traces contemporary crises to a loss of a strong, shared moral code and elevation of self-interest over the common good. Sacks describes how morality has been outsourced to the market and the state, but neither is capable of showing people how to live. The work draws on a range of sources to demonstrate that there is no liberty without morality and no freedom without responsibility, arguing that all must play a part in rebuilding a common moral foundation.
