RENOWNED SOCIAL
CRITIC Theodore Roszak articulates a biting
critique of the American political and cultural
scene dating back to the conservative backlash of
the Reagan presidency. World, Beware!
analyzes three major forces that have coalesced to
produce the triumphalist policies that now dominate
U.S. politics: the corporate elite, the
neoconservative intelligentsia, and the
fundamentalist churches.
Roszak calls for a new "global constituency" that
would rein in the superpower's excesses, and
promotes a dialogue on the future of industrialism.
Fuel to resist the neoconservative assault.
"Theodore Roszak is one of the nation’s
boldest and most eloquent social critics. This book
is an alarm bell intended to awaken us to the
long-term dangers of our present course. We must
all listen to Roszak’s message if we are to
survive as a decent society at one with the
world."
