Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton
3.0
An interesting read, though this is just one theory trying to explain the malaise that has infected modern, technocratic societies.
He skirts many different single-answer philosophies, but never seems to ascribe more weight to one than the others.
At time the book felt a bit disjointed as his travel around various philosophies briefly touched each but not enough to get a grip on each.
A good start but not enough depth to explain such a beast as the end-phase capitalism.
