More about the book

The book critiques the modern interpretation of responsibility, which equates it with self-sufficiency and has influenced welfare reforms that impose conditions on entitlements. Yascha Mounk employs political theory and moral philosophy to argue that this shift is harmful and explores how to counter it. The text encourages a reevaluation of luck and choice in welfare debates, highlighting the punitive nature of current policies and advocating for a more compassionate understanding of mutual responsibilities among citizens.
