Using a series of homely "lectures," with overtones of satiric humor, the author points out that though there is much talk of systems of society, there is very little direct observation of life under such systems. Seeking for the integrity and freedom of individuals, Dos Passos finds that whatever the political structure under which he lives, man is today faced by a common problem. How can he adjust society to the massive corporation-industrial or governmental - so that the liberties and dignities of a simpler society can be preserved? -- Dust jacket 580 HU OSA 300 - RFE/RL collection 650 0 Social history. 650 0 Civilization. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6309_100000000000000_DOS |70 |8GEN |9162994OSA |bOSA |d2023-09-07 |eRFE/RL |l0 |o309.1 DOS |r2023-09-07 |w2023-09-07 |yBK |cOSA Repository 920 01 BY043ZYN 992 01 309_100000000000000_DOS |bWZQ_YZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_MB7 966 |cIn the Research Room
