Booknews
A collection of nine essays exploring culture, the sociology of intellectuals, industrial society, socialism, revolution, and modernity. Although collected in honor of Zygmunt Bauman, the selected papers do not respond to any particular work of the Polish intellectual and teacher but rather mirror his life as they address questions of intellectual migration, technocracy and democracy, the prospects of a socialist economy in Europe, and the fate of the middle class.
