This is an automatically translated description

The book Post-Industrial Utopians by leading Western sociologist Boris Frankel examines a range of issues such as social security, defence policy and cultural development. The book critically analyses non-Marxist radical and alternative theories. It is written within the framework of scientific discourse, although it deals with a subject that until recently was considered unscientific - utopian ideas. These ideas are taken quite seriously, evaluated, weighed, subjected to the judgement of history and tested against the lessons of that history. Boris Frankel critically examines the post-industrial projects of Rudolf Baro, Andre Gorz, Barry Jones, and Alvin Toffler on the basis of three criteria: the universality of the values on which the future society will be based; the internal consistency of the images of the future society; and the availability and realism of strategies for implementing their projects.

The book is intended for scientists: sociologists, political scientists, historians, philosophers, students of higher educational institutions of relevant specialities, as well as all those interested in social and public problems.
