Drawing on Marxist crisis theory and the suite of social-scientific concepts that emerged from it, Habermas argues that while Western societies have succeeded to some extent in stabilizing the economic fluctuations associated with capitalism, this has created a new range of tendencies toward crisis which are then expressed in other spheres.
States intervene in economic life and attempt to regulate markets, but they find themselves confronted by increasing and often conflicting demands. As disillusion grows among individuals, the state is faced with the threat of a mass withdrawal of loyalty or support – a ›legitimation crisis‹.
A classic of contemporary social and political analysis, this book sheds light on a range of issues that are central to current debates, from the decline of class conflict and the disillusionment with established political institutions to the crisis of the welfare state. It remains essential reading for students of sociology, politics and the social sciences more generally.
