*Dr Iain McGilchrist*, author of The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and The Making of the Western World, puts our society on the couch. He suggests that the bipartite structure of the brain helps us to understand why the world so often seems paradoxical, and why we so often end up achieving the opposite of what we intend.
