The Madness of Crowds

In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the great derangement of woke’ culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of technology and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.

One of the few writers who dares to counter the prevailing view and question the dramatic changes in our society – from gender reassignment for children to the impact of transgender rights on women – Murray’s penetrating, masterfully argued book, now published with a new after-word, clears a path of sanity through the fog of our modern predicament.

Douglas Murray is Associate Editor of The Spectator and the author of The Strange Death of Europe, which spent 19 weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list. His books have been translated into 30 languages and are cited by politicians, commentators and authors around the world.
