With a new afterword by the author, this classic analysis of Western liberal capitalist society contends that capitalism and the culture it creates harbors the seeds of its own downfall by creating a need among successful people for personal gratification a need that corrodes the work ethic that led to their success in the first place. With the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a new world order, this provocative manifesto is more relevant than ever. | The Cultural Contradictions Of Capitalism (20th Anniversary Edition) by Daniel Bell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
