On the psychology and libertarian socialism of Erich Fromm

Rodolfo Leyva

pp. 3-15

Abstract

Disheartened by the rise of fascism in Western Europe and mass consumerism in the US, the 1930s group of exiled German intellectuals collectively known as the Frankfurt School, sought to investigate why significant numbers of individuals from advanced industrial societies seemed to so willingly succumb to hierarchical political-economic structures that breed rampant inequality and social alienation.
