Nation of Rebels: How Counterculture Became Consumer-Culture

In this highly thought-provoking and important critique of the cultural politics of the Left, author Joseph Heath (and co-author Andrew Potter) lament that such strategies as culture-jamming and an obsessive rejection of anything conformist have "completely replaced socialism as the basis of radical political thought." The problem, as they see it, is that the very idea of a counterculture is a myth, one that threatens to true attainment of social justice.
