Vienna: The City of Ideas Created the Modern World Viennese ideas have profoundly shaped the modern world, influencing everything from architecture to advertising, science to culture. This panoramic account explores the city's rich intellectual history, from psychoanalysis to economics, and how its thinkers had a profound impact on the world. From the communist rebels of Red Vienna to the neoliberal economists of the Austrian School, Richard Cockett traces the story of how one city made the modern world. The result is a fascinating narrative that encompasses the entirety of Vienna's extraordinary story, from the Second World War to the present day.
