This book is an attempt to draw attention to the crisis of virtues and moral principles, which contributes to the dominance of populism and the erosion of democracy. Greed, selfishness, lies and mockery are increasingly dominant, and honor has hidden in the fee. Hardly anyone remembers what selflessness, patience, politeness, simplicity, modesty, solidarity, courtesy, gratitude, generosity or magnanimity are.
