Friendship in an Age of Economics Book by Todd May (Farsi)

Description

"Friendship in an Age of Economics" by Todd May is a philosophical exploration of the concept of friendship in the modern world, where economic values often dominate social and personal interactions. In this book, May investigates how the rise of market-oriented thinking and the pervasive influence of economic rationality have affected the way we form, maintain, and understand friendships. May argues that friendship, a relationship traditionally grounded in mutual care, trust, and shared experiences, is increasingly influenced by the utilitarian values of efficiency, productivity, and self-interest. He explores how these economic pressures can erode the deep bonds of friendship, leading to more superficial and transactional relationships.
