Capitalism and citizenship

Description

"Capitalism and Citizenship argues we have become materially rich, we have become socially poor, and this social poverty has undermined our willingness and ability to become politically engaged. By studying the work of political and social theorists, mainly Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and Hannah Arendt, but including also Norbert Elias, Jurgen Habermas and Manuel Castells, the author provides a historical analysis of the different manifestations of capitalism which have brought us to our present situation of social and political poverty."--Jacket.
