Critical Theory Meets America: Riesman, Fromm and The Lonely Crowd,
- A reading of David Riesman's classic The Lonely Crowd is presented that emphasizes its links with the critical theory of German psychoanalyst & social critic Erich Fromm. The intellectual & personal relationship between Riesman & Fromm brings into focus Riesman's adaptation of the insights of European critical theory as well as the strengths of American social science & social criticism. Riesman's rela-tively neglected theoretical approach has much to offer a sociology concerned with retaining its links to public debate & empirical evidence.
