Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-10 00:00:00 Sergey Li This is the book from which one can most readily access Schumpeter's primary statement on Fiscal Sociology, i.e. the "Crisis of the Tax State," i.e. (with Rudolf Goldscheid) the foundational work in Fiscal Sociology.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-08 00:00:00 Jeffrey Lewis So Daniel Bell gets some things right -- the hippies were by and large self-righteous children who cared far more about individual pleasure than building a new society, that radical individualism can get very, very cozy with late-stage capitalism, and that capitalism undermines the work ethic it benefited from. But let's face it, a lot of the time Bell demands a "unifying culture," and lambasts modern society, he just comes off as a left-wing Allan Bloom. He's a fine writer, but so, so many of his arguments are largely ungrounded and rather silly in hindsight.
