Points out the ultimate incompatibility of capitalism with democracy
|
| A well-done book that not only decries the incessant marketing and dumbing down of American society, but also applies some of Lukacs's insights to modern America. Specifically, that the all-for-one and one-for-one competition at the heart of American capitalism leads to a distrust that carries over into other areas of life, such as politics. Thus, fierce economic competition for a shrinking supply of the good life makes it more difficult to find the trust necessary for political cooperation in a an effort to solve the nation's pressing social problems. In short, a book to read on many levels that ties together root causes for the current American decline. |
