Second derivation of desire

"The greatest advantage of democratic public spaces is the possibility to transform anger into critical consciousness and then into a political program. But the liquidly angry masses cannot transform their anger into political arguments; such unargued indignation suits the demagogues who trap them in their nets. In the Czech public sphere, the philosophical economist Tomáš Sedláček, author of the international bestseller The Economics of Good and Evil, is persistently searching for an answer to the question 'how to turn indignation into argumentative discourse'."

"It amazes me how Tomáš manages to write such engaging articles every week, for so many years, regardless of his work commitments around the world. It's one of the things I admire about him, and as a journalist I especially appreciate it. The responsibility and discipline with which he approaches his readers are truly unprecedented in the domestic environment. I am fascinated by how he links economics with philosophy and other fields of knowledge."
