Decentralizing Power : Paul Goodman's Social Criticism
Other Available Formats
Overview
In this new collection of his most acute and durable political writing, readers will recognize the spirit of indignation and hope Goodman first roused in the 1960s with Growing Up Absurd, the book that brought him into prominence and set much of the agenda for the youth movement during the 60s and into the 70s. Never content to criticize without awakening initiative and encouraging action, Paul Goodman's writing is as compelling in the 21st Century as it was in the 60s. Believing that the States and institutions interfered too much in people's lives, undermining initiative for the sake of soulless order and mindless material growth, Goodman was articulate about a wide range of concerns, from community planning, language theory, psychology, and education, to countless political and social problems, and presented us with some real alternatives.
