Stanley Aronowitz (1933–2001) was a towering figure on the American Left for over sixty years. Both a tireless organizer and a militant social and political theorist, Aronowitz was a highly perceptive analyst of class power. He was dedicated throughout his career to the development and circulation of conceptual weapons for the working class and for all those who faced oppression within American society.

Live Theory: The Aronowitz Reader brings together in thirteen seminal essays Aronowitz’s theoretical contributions to fundamental questions regarding science, class, culture, and education, alongside his pioneering interventions on labor, contract unionism, and the ongoing struggle for radical democracy. It is a crucial introduction to an indispensable thinker.


Mark

Stanley was a distinguished scholar of labor, work, unions, class, education, American politics, and Marxism. […] [False Promises] is the most wide-ranging exploration of working-class consciousness I’ve ever read. […] A fighting left needs more people like him […].

––Jamie McCallum, Jacobin


Through his radical and relentless pursuit of knowledge and justice, Aronowitz provided a blueprint for living an intellectual life that matters to those of us who refuse to accept the status quo.

––Eric Weiner, Montclair State University
