Bold and ambitious project, fearlessly re-embracing the ‚Grand Narrative‘ approach to social theory that was shot down by the postmodernists in the 1990sWritten by an outstanding scholar, whose expertise makes him uniquely placed to pull together a vast array of literature in cultural theory, political sociology, science and technology studies etc, and who has a clear vision of what a social theory of now should look likePotential to shake up social theory and have a big impact on social sciences across the board will miss the boat unless we publish simultaneouslyWill undoubtedly have a big impact across the social sciences

Beschreibung

An Age of Limits outlines a new social theory for understanding contemporary society. Providing an analysis of why political, economic and cultural powers face constraints across the global North and beyond, this bold book argues that forces which address current challenges must confront the limits of the interplay between dominant institutions.
