This book illuminates the human experience of living through that decade as apprentice scholars and activists, encountering the issues of class, race, the establishment, feminism, war, and the sexual revolution.

This work documents the continuing usefulness of Max Weber's unrivalled social thought. It offers a series of linked studies that treat Weber's concept of rationalization as expressed in different cultural forms, and Weber's relationship to modern philosophical thought.
