Stanley Aronowitz 
Live Theory [EPUB ebook] 
The Aronowitz Reader

Stanley Aronowitz was a towering figure on the American left for over sixty years. Both a tireless organizer and a militant social and political theorist, Aronowitz was a highly perceptive analyst of class power. He was dedicated throughout his career to the development and circulation of conceptual weapons for the working class and for all those who faced oppression within American society.
Live Theory is a crucial introduction to an indispensable thinker, bringing together in thirteen seminal essays Aronowitz’s theoretical contributions to fundamental questions regarding science, class, culture, and education, alongside his pioneering interventions on labor, contract unionism, and the struggle for radical democracy.Praise for Stanley Aronowitz:
