Marx, Braverman, and the Logic of Capital
T he power and scope of large-scale industry among advanced capitalist societies have it incredibly difficult for us to imagine a different mode of material production. We are all convinced that artisanship in our epoch is merely a form of bourgeois ideology, whose effect, if not intention, is to foster illusions of mobility among workers, and to create an artificial hierarchy within the labor process. The few instances of handicraft that remain …
Against Orthodoxy
The book contains groundbreaking and immersive essays on crucial 20th Century scholars on social theory, discussed and analyzed from a radical, critical theory perspective. Aronowitz provides his uniq
The Politics of Identity
In The Politics of Identity, Stanley Aronowitz offers provocative analysis of the complex interactions of class, politics, and culture. Beginning with the premise that culture is constitutive of class identities, he demonstrates that while feminist analyses of both racial and gay movements have discussed these components of culture, class contributions to cultural identity have yet to be fully examined. In these essays, he uses class as a categor…
Radical Democracy or Liberal Democracy?
Towards Radicalism - 1 - The Death and Rebirth of the American Left
The Death and Rebirth of American Radicalism
The Death and Rebirth of American Radicalism differentiates the "Social Justice Left" from "Cultural Radicalism" and the various social movements for individual freedom. In The Death and Rebirth of American Radicalism, Stanley Aronowitz asks the question, "Is there anything left of the Left?" With the rise of Newt Gingrich and his "Contract With America," how is it that conservativism staged such a remarkable recovery after being discounted in th…
Marcuse's Conception of Eros
Biography of C. Wright Mills
Reflections on the Madison Uprising
This essay is an assessment of the current fiscal and crisis in the public sector and the role of unions within it. The main claim is that for more than a half century, both public sector and private sector unions have relied, in the main, on legal and electoral strategies for advancing workers' interests. However effective these may have been in the past, they are no longer adequate. The essay concludes that we may be witnessing a new labor move…

The Jobless Future
The Jobless Future
Charting a major change in the nature of paid work in the United States. This widely reviewed and highly successful book examines the job market of tomorrow. Aronowitz and DiFazio take you behind the headlines to challenge the idea that a high-tech economy will provide high-paying jobs for all who want them. Instead, they demonstrate that we're more likely to see continued layoffs and job displacement.--Publisher website.
Jobless Future
Between Criticism And Ethnography
The Jobless Future
“High technology will destroy more jobs than it creates.” This grim prediction was first published in the 1994 edition of this text, an eerily accurate title that could have been written for today’s dismal economic climate. Updated and with a new introduction and afterword this book warns that jobs as we know them—long-term, with benefits—are an endangered species

Lukács, Georg (1885–1971)
Born in Budapest of a prominent banking family, Georg Lukács was among the most influential, if not always the most beloved, Marxist philosophers and social theorists of the twentieth century. His book of essays History and Class Consciousness (1971: HCC ) ranks as a major contribution to Marxism, albeit of a distinctly unorthodox kind. And, adopting some of Weber's key concepts, especially the notion of the ideal type, he made huge contributions…
American Politics on the Edge La politica americana en la encrucijada
Currently there are two major strategies attempting to thwart the rightward lurch of United States politics: liberals and leftists who place faith in their ability to push the Democratic party away from its current center-right orientation; and the new social movements which, disdaining electoral politics and party organization have elevated the concept of protest and resistance to the level of a principle and social strategy. This article argues…

High Technology and Work Tomorrow
Science and technology developments over the past 25 years have had profound effects on workplace productivity and income. Prevailing wisdom holds that significant levels of investment in plant and equipment and the consequent economic growth lead, in the context of a market economy, to more permanent jobs. The authors contest this claim. They argue that the tendency of technology investment is inherently labor saving, in both goods production an…
The Politics of the Science Wars
reason versus unreason. While the language and vocabularies of science are different from those of the arts, the animus is the same: as for those safeguarding culture and science, the barbarians are at the gates. Those who would demystify science by showing it is subject to the same cultural and social influences as any other discourse, no less than critics who excoriate science for remaining silent when its discoveries are recruited for nefariou…

Reflections on Identity
The cold war, which dominated nearly all U.S. public life for most of latter half of this century, interrupted a debate about crisis in modernity that had erupted at turn of century and occupied much of philosophical and social thought until World War II. Most anti-Stalinist intellectuals were fiercely committed to modernity's putative achievements-individualism, democracy, and social (if not always cultural) pluralism-which had their basis in id…

History is not and can never become a seamless narrative. Historical narrative becomes myth when it performs the function of representing society to itself as forgetting and makes present only the surfaces of the material practices that constitute history, recuperating the past for the present. If we view film as ontology rather than representation we can understand how filmic images have shaped our beliefs about the history of the Bolshevik revo…

A Critique of Methodological Reason
In this essay, we argue that, following their perception of practices in the natural sciences, the social sciences have reified methodology, making it the chief imperative of social investigation and using it to ground their knowledge claims. We find this to be the case even in the work of social scientists who try to overcome or reject the dominant positivist paradigm. We argue that this obsession with method has led the social sciences to aband…

Cracks in the Bloc
The best scenario is a dust bowl depression. Millions roam the countryside looking for food, having given up the search for work years earlier. Others live on the streets of the large cities or construct homes from the debris of previous decades. The President and his opponent are decrying the size of government spending and promise, above all, to balance the budget. There is no labor movement to protect the rights of those still employed on the …

Notes on the 1988 Presidential Campaign
Let us at the outset review a few facts about Dukakis's performance: he ran a lousy campaign and he was a lousy candidate. Perhaps his most glaring error was to try to present himself as a technocrat, with all of the connotations that the term carries: the end of ideology, watering down the old new deal, social liberal agenda, moderation of the healthy post-Vietnam anti-interventionist drift of the congressional Democratic party, and last, but no…
