Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud

Civilization and Its Discontents by Sigmund Freud

Civilisation protects us from violence, hunger and each other. Freud's uncomfortable claim is that it charges for this in the only currency we have: happiness.

Written in 1930 as Europe drifted towards catastrophe, the essay argues that every society is built by forcing aggression and desire inward, where they turn into guilt. The safer the society, the heavier the guilt.

Short, bleak and endlessly cited. One of the most influential essays ever written about why modern life feels the way it does.
