An Interview with David Riesman

  • In an interview, David Riesman, author of The Lonely Crowd (1950), discusses: how he came to write The Lonely Crowd; the influence Erich FROMM had on his intellectual and personal development; the relationship between the mass culture of the 1940s and 1990s; the link between >other-direction< and the technological sophistication of the modern world; the US's peculiar tendency toward anti-elitist, anti-intellectual, and anti-authoritarian rhetoric; the trade-off between egalitarianism and liberty; the difference between cultural integrity and cultural diversity; the Clinton administration's ideas of mass conformity; the relationship between cultural conformity and consumer culture; and the significance of the contemporary debate about multiculturalism.
