- Summary
- Goodman confronts the characteristic dilemma of Americans today: it is only by operating within the accepted society that anything can be done; but our society discourages initiative and inhibits fundamental change. The final stage in this process is fascism. In this collections of essays, Goodman consider this dilemma, insisting on seeing the extension of human possibilities in the immediate future.
