Recessional

The Death of Free Speech and the Cost of a Free Lunch

15 minDavid Mamet

What's it about

Ever wonder why it feels like you can't say what you really think anymore? Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Mamet argues that America is trading its most vital freedoms, like free speech, for the illusion of safety and comfort. This isn't just a political debate—it's changing your daily life. In Recessional, you’ll discover Mamet’s unsparing diagnosis of a culture in decline. He reveals how political correctness, academic groupthink, and a fear of offending anyone are eroding the foundations of Western civilization. Learn to identify these threats and reclaim the courage to think for yourself.

Meet the author

David Mamet is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and a two-time Academy Award nominee, celebrated for his incisive critiques of American society and its institutions. For over five decades, his work in theater and film has unflinchingly explored the decay of language and the moral compromises of modern life. Mamet’s legendary career as a master wordsmith and cultural observer provides the unique foundation for his urgent examination of free speech and personal responsibility in his latest work.
