Compasión "conspicua"

Civitas ha publicado recientemente un libro que parece apetecible (Conspicuous compassion, de Patrick West), criticando la vacua solidaridad que nos gusta desplegar a los occidentales en los últimos tiempos:

In Conspicuous Compassion author Patrick West argues that wearing coloured ribbons, strapping red noses onto the front of your car, signing internet petitions, and carrying banners saying 'Not In My Name' are part of a culture of ostentatious caring which is about feeling good, not doing good. The three Cs of modern life - compassion, caring and crying in public - show not how altruistic we have become, but how selfish.
