Synopsis
One-Dimensional Man is a book written by philosopher Herbert Marcuse, first published in 1964. The work offers the reader a wide-ranging critique of both contemporary capitalism and the Soviet model of communism, documenting the parallel rise of new forms of social repression (both public and personal) in both these societies as well as the decline of revolutionary potential in the West.
