Chapter 1Introduction

Bonfiglio, Thomas Paul

Chapter 2Marx, Freud, and Capital

Bonfiglio, Thomas Paul

Pages: 25 –42

[The major contributions to Marxist psychoanalysis tend to lack a concrete political platform and offer instead nebulous prescriptions for a change in attitude as a substitute for a change in economy. In doing so, they often inadvertently reinstate the individualist ethos that they criticize. The...

Chapter 3Immanent Injustice: Race and Gender

Bonfiglio, Thomas Paul

Pages: 43 –63

Chapter 6Marketed Fetishism

Bonfiglio, Thomas Paul

Pages: 91 –114

Chapter 9Anticommunism and Academia

Bonfiglio, Thomas Paul

Pages: 193 –205

Chapter 10Anglocentrism in the American Century

Bonfiglio, Thomas Paul

Pages: 207 –224
