Erich Fromm was one of the most influential and creative public intellectuals of the twentieth century. He was a mentor to David Riesman and an inspiration for the New Left. As the rise of global right-wing populism and Trumpism creates new interest in the kind of psycho-social writing and popular sociology that Fromm pioneered in the 1930s, this timely book tells the story of the rise, fall and contemporary revival of Fromms theories. Drawing from empirical work, this is an invaluable contribution to popular debates about current politics, the sociology of ideas and the prospect of a truly global public sociology.

Recensioner i media

McLaughlin has made an impassioned defense of public sociology, Erich Fromm, and Fromms status as a public sociologist. His scholarship ... is exhaustive and covers decades. His style of writing is clear and lucid, and the core arguments never get submerged by the considerable detail and exegesis. He has done a great service in emphasizing the need to reclaim Fromm as numbered among eminent public sociologists. Symbolic Interaction "Neil McLaughlin has reminded us of how much Fromm still has had to offer not the least of which is to rekindle hope in times of darkness that often seem hopeless." Social Forces
