Book reflection: When Breath Becomes Air

/in /by

  1. How would you describe Dr. Paul Kalanithi? What kind of a person was he?
  2. One of the most profound questions addressed in this book is what makes life worth living in the face of
    death. We all face death, but Paul Kalanithi knew his was imminent. What answers, or at least

consolations, does he find?

  1. Kalanithi quotes Samuel Beckett’s seven words: I can’t go on. I’ll go on.” Talk about what that means,

not just for Paul Kalanithi but for all of us. In the face of dying, especially prolonged, how does one “go on”

or, in popular parlance, “keep on keeping on”?

  1. One of the ironies of Kalanithi’s life is that he postponed learning how to live in order to learn how to be

a doctor. But once he knew he had lung cancer, he had to learn how to die. What are the ways in which he
learned to live…and learned to face his death? Would you be as brave and thoughtful as Katanithi was?

  1. Describe Kalanithi’s love-hate relationship with medicine. He saw it as a job that kept his cardiologist

father away from home. But how else did he see it?

Last yearDeloitte Insightspublished an article which argued that increases in “contract, freelance, and gig

employment,” along with a rise in various forms of freelancing and self-employment, are changing the

relationship between employers and employees in a variety of different ways and that this has important

implications for business and for society.

“The Undemanding Ethics of Capitalism,”

/in /by

Different economic systems provide dissimilar kinds of incentives for economic behavior. Most pre-

industrial organized economies relied heavily on enforced class hierarchies based on strength, conquest,

coercion and enforced obligations. Similarly, various utopian schemes (regardless of whether they are

based on fascism, communism or religious authority) that were supposed to be based on respect for

human dignity and equality,instead usually ended up relying on brute force when people did not act in the

way that the utopian planners wanted.
In this context, Niskanen, in his essay on “The Undemanding Ethics of Capitalism,” argues that through

free exchange, capitalistic economies tend to provide us with direct monetary rewards for activities that

benefit other people. As a result, according to Niskanen, capitalistic systems are less reliant than other

economic systems on the existence of benevolence,or general good will towards our fellow humans,for

overall decency and behavior that benefits everyone. Niskanen’s point is that, sincethese other systems

are less likely to provide direct rewards for simply providing others with the things that they want and

value, those systems are also less likely to see behavior specifically designed to provide others with such

things. Adam Smith famously put it thus: “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the

baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.”
Others, for example Marx, Proudhon, Engels, and Polanyi, have argued that capitalism reduces some

human interactions to formal exchange and that in the process something of value has been lost.
In this context, your assignment is to write a short essay criticallyevaluating Niskanen’s arguments on this

issue.
