520	1		_a"Our culture of ostentatious caring is about projecting your ego, and informing others what a deeply caring individual you are. It is about feeling good, not doing good, and illustrates not how altruistic we have become, but how selfish. And, as Patrick West shows in this monograph, sometimes it can be cruel to care."--BOOK JACKET.
