Books like The making of a counter culture by Roszak, Theodore


The Making of a Counter Culture examines the intellectual foundations of two influential youth movements of the 1960s: campus radicals and hippie dropouts. Drawing on the writings of Herbert Marcuse, Norman O. Brown, Allen Ginsberg, and Paul Goodman, the author shows how both groups united in their rejection of the technocracy that the work labels the ruling regime of corporate and technological expertise dominating industrial society. The book contextualizes these movements within the broader shifts of modern civilization, highlighting tensions between generations and the socioeconomic changes of the era.
