A case for disloyalty
Loyalty has a good reputation – albeit one that's very much undeserved, thinks Rainer Hank. Loyalty not only prevents us from being free, but also encourages betrayal (for example at work), keeps us shackled to unhealthy relationships (for instance in our family or our social circle) and is an obstacle to change. Loyalty is a concept much favoured by populist tribalism, which behaves aggressively towards outsiders at the same time as it demands unconditional loyalty from its own ranks, and stigmatises dissenters as traitors.
Using many concrete examples from economics, society and politics, Rainer Hank – a passionate liberal – shows how loyalty can become a trap and how we can get out of it, and celebrates the liberating power of protest and defiance.
