The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity

by Douglas Marry

In The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray explores the rise of identity politics and ‘woke’ culture, critically examining controversial issues like gender, sexuality, and race. With sharp analysis, he questions the cultural shifts affecting free speech and societal norms, urging readers to rethink the impact of current ideologies. Now updated with a new afterword, the book provides fresh insights in light of global events, including the Black Lives Matter protests.

I commend Douglas Murray for his raw honesty in explaining the madness that is happening all around us today. His facts and wit make for a book of our times. Douglas is a formidable opponent in dialogue and debate and this shines through the book. Facts are facts. You can ignore them but the truth is all we have… how you describe it may not be the answer you think is right. Douglas shows that disagreement is not only necessary but is at the root of dialogue . Open your eyes to the madness of the crowds and question for yourself. It is the fool who is not able to listen to other ideas. They become part of the crowd who search for meaning in an empty world that they have created.

Murray digs into the illogic of identity politics to ultimately propose and better way of getting on as a society. An important book for anyone trying to understand identity culture and it’s hectoring proponents.

Thorough review of the mechanisms behind the political correctness frenzy
