Book Description
In an era marked by economic uncertainty and social fragmentation, many people sense that something fundamental has gone awry in our modern world. John Horvat II addresses this widespread concern by examining how contemporary society has drifted away from the human-centered principles that once provided stability and meaning.
Drawing from nearly two decades of research, Horvat argues that our current economic system has become disconnected from essential human values like honor, trust, and authentic community bonds. He suggests that the institutions which historically provided natural guidance and restraint have been weakened or abandoned, leaving society without the moral compass needed to navigate complex challenges.
The author presents an alternative vision rooted in what he calls an organic Christian order, emphasizing the importance of traditional institutions such as family, local community, and faith-based governance. Rather than proposing abstract theories, Horvat offers practical insights into how these time-tested principles can address contemporary problems while honoring human dignity and natural social relationships.
This work invites readers to consider how returning to foundational values might restore balance to both personal life and broader society. Horvat's approach combines social analysis with spiritual wisdom, suggesting that meaningful change begins with reconnecting to the deeper principles that have guided human flourishing throughout history.
For those seeking understanding of current social challenges and pathways toward renewal, this book offers a thoughtful exploration of how traditional wisdom might illuminate modern dilemmas.
