A Theory of System Justification

This insightful book, A Theory of System Justification, explores why we defend social systems that cause misery and injustice. John Jost argues that our need for certainty, security, and social acceptance motivates us to protect the status quo - even when it harms others. With 25 years of research, Jost provides an accessible account of his groundbreaking theory that explains deep social and political issues, as well as intimate ones like relationships and self-worth. This book offers valuable insights for those seeking social justice and meaningful change.
