First published in 1930, this work has as its subject of inquiry the new class of salaried employees who populated the cities of Weimar Germany. Drawing on conversations, newspapers, adverts and personal correspondence, it charts the bland horror of the everyday.

Explores current scientific, cultural, social and political values, arguing that the events of September 11 reflect both the manipulation of a global sub-proletariat and the delusions of an elite of rich students and technicians.

A classic work by the founding father of existentialism, describing his philosophy and its relationship to Marxism.
