Named by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the 100 most influential
books of the past half century
Daniel Bell is our lively, necessary sage. He sees our world clearly; he sees our world whole. The new edition of The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism enriches our culture and increases our store of wisdom, sanity, and humanity as a time when cheap opinion threatens them all.
Cathareine R. Stimpson, University Professor, Rutgers University, and Director, Fellows Program, MacArthur Foundation.
Daniel Bell has become our Jeremiah. But he doesn't rant. His blend of contemporary history and phrase-making sociology nails us squirming to the reckless cultue we have spawned.
Roger Shattuck, President, The Association of Literary Scholars and Critics, and author of Forbidden Knowledge
Bell's book is a work of synthesis and interpretation, ambitious, far-reaching, and challenging at every turn... This book is a model of clarity and relentless intelligence.
The Atlantic Monthly
