"Jennings cites Jean-Francois Lyotard: "Contemporary society no longer speaks of fraternity at all, whether Christian or republican. It only speaks of the sharing of the wealth and benefits of 'development.' Anything is permissible, within the limits of what is defined as distributive justice. We owe nothing other than services, and only among ourselves. We are socioeconomic partners in a very large business, that of development."8 A just and rightly ordered desire to be emancipated from oppression becomes an overwrought penchant to be liberated from every other, from the obligations of human community, from anything that impinges on the project of what David Brooks calls "The Big Me."9"
