Considering the discussion today of capitalism and its global triumph, it is important to understand why a prior generation of social theorists imagined the future of advanced societies not in a fixed capitalist form but in some course of development leading beyond capitalism.Howard Brick locates this postcapitalist vision within a long history of social theory and ideology. He challenges the common view that American thought and culture utterly succumbed in the 1940s to a conservative cold war consensus that put aside the reform ideology and social theory of the early twentieth century. Rather, expectations of the shift to a new social economy persisted and cannot be disregarded as one of the elements contributing to the revival of dissenting thought and practice in the 1960s.Rooted in a politics of social liberalism, this vision held influence for roughly a half century, from its interwar origins until the right turn in American political culture during the 1970s and 1980s. In offering a historically based understanding of American postcapitalist thought, Brick also presents some current possibilities for reinvigorating critical social thought that explores transitional developments beyond capitalism. 606 $aSocial change$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCapitalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEconomics$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSociology$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aCapitalism$xHistory 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory 615 0$aSociology$xHistory 676 $a306.3/4209730904 686 $aQD 110$2rvk 700 $aBrick$b Howard, $01698467 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810838703321 996 $aTranscending Capitalism$94079964 997 $aUNINA
