Fromm developed as a critic of contemporary society under the influence of Marx, Freud and the Frankfurt circle. He stood out as an original critical interpreter of Freud's conceptions, which are his second basic inspiration.
In the book Healthy Society, Fromm tried to show that life in a democracy of the XX. century represents another type of escape from freedom. The analysis of this very escape, in which alienation is the central concept, forms a large part of this book.
The book is written in a simple, clear and almost journalistic style, and it presents the results of the study of toxicomania, analysis of intoxicating substances and persons who, under the influence of these substances, notice behavioral defects.
The answer to your main question: "What is man?" Fromm builds on a basically psychoanalytic insight into the core of man, on contemporary anthropological knowledge about man as well as socio-theoretical discoveries about the way of his survival.
