Once an atheist and leading theoretician of the Swedish Social Democratic Party and Head Archivist of the Swedish Labor Union, Tage Lindbom later became a fierce critic of the Swedish Socialist utopia he had helped create. In The Tares and the Good Grain, Lindbom unveils the web of deceit and chaos that men have built without God, but does it humbly, even with compassion. The introduction, written by Roger Du Pasquier, is a brilliant description of the failure of Marxist ideology and an essential summary of Lindbom's life. The book is short and readable, but densely packed with important observations and ideas, all very useful in the dark world that we live in.
Few works better point to the innate contradictions, falsehoods, and weaknesses that characterize modern ideologies and threaten human existence than does this book. Starting from a critique based on extensive knowledge of modern political and social ideologies, including the Marxism the author once espoused, it arrives at those perennial truths that have been engraved within the very substance of the human soul. -Seyyed Hossein Nasr
This is as important an analysis of our present crisis as I have seen. By piercing to the deepest causes of our modern predicament, its psychosocial insights show us both where we have gone wrong and how we might recover our way. -Huston Smith
What makes this book all the more exciting is the surprising fact that the author himself during much of his earlier life had been known as a leading archivist of the Social Democratic Party of Sweden, a nation generally regarded as a model Welfare State. One may ask what caused a man so well informed to alter his social and political perspective in favor of a conception of human life (individual as well as communal) utterly opposed to the stock-in-trade preconceptions of Marxist thinking at all levels. A close study of Lindbom's book, one can promise the reader, will repay the effort. -Marco Pallis
