  • - American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations
    by Christopher Lasch
    £12.99

    When The Culture of Narcissism was first published, it was clear that Christopher Lasch had identified something important: what was happening to American society in the wake of the decline of the family over the last century.

  • - A Guide to Written English
    by Christopher Lasch
    £14.99

    "The late Lasch, college history professor and the author of The Culture of Narcissism (1979), among other seminal works, so despaired of his graduate students' writing that he began to compile a list of common compositional errors. This list soon evolved into a full-fledged writing guide. . . . Lasch's wry, distinctive voice is evident throughout."-Joanne Wilkinson, Booklist

  • - Love, Marriage, and Feminism
    by Christopher Lasch

  • by Christopher Lasch
    £16.49

    In the American political vocabulary, "family" and "family values" no longer simply evoke pictures of harmonious scenes; they also push our buttons (left and right) about what is wrong with society.

  • - Progress and Its Critics
    by Christopher Lasch
    £24.99

    "A major and challenging work. . . . Provocative, and certain to be controversial. . . . Will add important new dimension to the continuing debate on the decline of liberalism." -William Julius Wilson, New York Times Book Review

  • - Det eneste sande paradis
    by Christopher Lasch
    £10.99

    Den narcissistiske og identitetssvage personlighed, som Christopher Lasch mente dominerede de moderne og postmoderne samfund, er ikke et resultat af et par tiårs modestrømninger, men skyldes et par hundrede års systematisk nedbrydning af de traditionelle bånd, der tidligere gav individet dets identitet: familien, arbejdsfællesskabet, det lokale samfund og troen.Det er temaet i Laschs POPULISMEN – oprindelig udgivet i 1993 som Det eneste sande paradis – fremskridtet og dets kritikere. Ifølge Lasch har fremskridtstanken spillet fallit, ligesom den politiske strid mellem højre og venstre ikke længere rammer de centrale politiske spørgsmål.I bogen analyserede Lasch 300 års amerikansk og europæisk idehistorie. Og som alternativ til fremskridtstroen og dens profeter, fremhæver han sin analyse de forfattere, politikere og filosoffer, som var talsmænd for fremskridtets ofre. Her finder han et håb og en tro på fremtiden. I den foragtede populistiske tradition. Hos folket og i folket.Forfatteren og foredragsholderen Klavs Birkholm har forsynet bogen med et aktualiserende forord.
