Drawing from empirical work, this timely book tells the story of the rise, fall and contemporary revival of the theories of Erich Fromm who was one of the most influential public intellectuals of the twentieth century.
As the rise of global right-wing populism and Trumpism creates new interest in psycho-social writing and popular sociology, this is an invaluable contribution to the key debates about current politics, sociology of ideas, and the prospect of a truly global public sociology.
