Description
Paul Goodman's Growing Up Absurd is a powerful critique of American society and its effects on young people. In this influential work, Goodman argues that the unhappiness of youth is a symptom of a broader humanly repressive system run by corporations that prioritize profit over meaningful work. Goodman saw the young as the first casualties of this system, and believed they held the key to potential resistance. His book offers a penetrating indictment of corporate capitalism and points the way forward towards a more local and engaged form of social organization. Written with a unique blend of vast learning, astute analysis, and engaging prose, Growing Up Absurd remains a relevant and thought-provoking work today, offering insights into the human costs of unchecked capitalism and the potential for collective action.
