Emilia Roig

Trump’s inhuman turbo-capitalism and the fascist policies of the AfD, Le Pen, and Meloni are designed to make us exploit and oppress one another. But what can we do about it? In a letter to her son, Emilia Roig outlines a bold new ethic of being in times of crisis. She advocates placing radical care—physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional—at the center of our self-understanding and value system. We don’t need heroes to save the world. We need a reevaluation of our values.

Emilia Roig, born in 1983, holds a Ph.D. in political science and is the author of the bestsellers *Why We Matter* and *The End of Marriage*. In 2020, she served on the jury for the Nonfiction Book of the Year award. She has received numerous awards for her work.
