The Need to Be Whole

Focusing on social justice and economic disparity, this work by Wendell Berry delves into the historical exploitation of marginalized groups that has fueled the prosperity of a select few. Building on themes from his earlier writings, it calls for a deep examination of the interconnectedness of wealth and unpaid labor, urging readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the nation's foundations. Berry's advocacy for the dispossessed is a central theme, emphasizing the need for a more equitable society.
