Opis

This book, first published in 1974, argues that the counter culture is not the outcome of alienation, but of opportunity, being the result of a new generational consciousness which has characterised societies of the West since the 1950s. Its roots lie in economic expansion and population movement: that are cited in the decline of religiousness.
