| Sommario/riassunto: | Vivian Adams' 'The Psychopath Factory: How Capitalism Organises Empathy' explores the intersection of psychopathy and capitalism, focusing on how empathy is managed within corporate structures. Through the lens of a fictional company, Red Tower Novelties Ltd, the book illustrates the emotional toll on employees dealing with defective and dangerous products. It delves into themes of organizational behavior, the commodification of empathy, and the psychological impact of capitalist practices. Adams uses examples from literature and film to examine how psychopathy is portrayed and understood, contrasting these depictions with real-world scenarios. The book targets readers interested in psychology, capitalism, and social dynamics. |
