Description
The Cultural Contradictions Of Capitalism 20th Anniversary Edition by Daniel Bell
This provocative analysis of Western liberal capitalist society argues that the culture created by capitalism harbors the seeds of its own downfall. Bell contends that the need for personal gratification among successful people corrodes the work ethic that led to their success.
With the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a new world order, this thought-provoking manifesto is more relevant than ever, thanks to a new afterword by the author.
