The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life.

Zitelmann prüft die zehn häufigsten Einwände gegen den Kapitalismus: Kapitalismus führe zu Hunger und Armut, zu steigender Ungleichheit, zu überflüssigem Konsum, zu Umweltzerstörung und Klimawandel.
