Stanley Aronowitz

Opis

In this book Stanley Aronowitz asks What is left of the Left? How is it that conservativism staged such a remarkable recovery after being discounted in the turbulent 1960s? Aronowitz provides an analysis of the historical left, arguing that today's Left must envision not merely more equality or opportunity, but develop a radical democratic movement that seeks a solution to the economic, political and cultural crisis of our time.

Recenzje

"Aronowitz brings masterful insights to this eminent documentation of formerly prophetic but now sleepy radical movements. But the future is not dead, he maintains, it is just resting." -- Publisher's Weekly
