Defining the Age: Daniel Bell, His Time and Ours

by Julian E Zelizer and Paul Starr

Book Overview

The sociologist Daniel Bell was an uncommonly acute observer of the structural forces transforming the United States and other advanced societies in the twentieth century. The titles of Bell's major books--The End of Ideology (1960), The Coming of Post-Industrial Society (1973), and The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (1976)--became hotly debated frameworks for understanding the era when they were published.
