I just finished Peter Schwartz’s In Defense of Selfishness and really think it is an excellent book that makes an unanswerable case against altruism while rescuing the concept of selfishness from the package deal it has been encased in during modern times.
One of the biggest values of the book, to me, are the myriad concrete examples Mr. Schwartz uses to concretize the points he makes. From blind people demanding to be seated in emergency exit rows to a pathological organ donor to a great quote from President Pierce the book, in my view, makes it very clear that cultural deterioration is unequivocally occurring because of altruism.
I really hope it finds a huge audience.
