In his book Erich Fromm argues that in the present period of crisis, two ways of existence are struggling for the spirit of humankind.

First - and dominant in modern industrial society - there is what he calls the "having" mode, which concentrates on material possessions and power and is based on greed, envy and aggressiveness.

The second - and alternative - way is of what he calls the "being" mode, which manifests itself in the pleasure of shared experience and truly productive rather than wasteful activity, and is rooted in love and the ascendancy of human over material values.

"To have or to be" is both a comprehensive analysis of the crisis of modern civilization and a uniquely detailed programme for a social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet.

When Linda Fallon and Thomas Janes meet at a conference reception in Toronto, it is the first time they have seen each other in twenty-six years and each has been marked by age and personal tragedy.

The novel moves backwards in time, starting at the age of fifty-two to follow the lovers through time and across continents, exploring the passion that pulls them together and the circumstances that have forced them apart.
