Aquello que dábamos por bueno

A change of century is always expected with a certain expectation and optimism because we trust that it will leave behind everything that has disturbed us in the previous one. However, the entry into the 21st century has been more than bumpy. After the Great Recession, when it seemed that we were over ten long years of economic and social instability, the plague broke out. Since then, the world has become a more uncertain, fragile and unapproachable place, where immediacy, relativism and false prophets triumph, an era that questions everything we took for granted. This is the title that the journalist and director of El Confidencial, Nacho Cardero, has chosen for his book. What we took for granted is not a personal diary, nor an essay, nor a journalistic chronicle, but it is everything at the same time. It is a text written with an open heart, without anesthesia, that describes out loud the experiences of many, what we have lived and what we have felt when the crisis became permanent and the scale of values on which we had built our society was crumbling. little by little.
