The titles of Bell's major books--\u003ci\u003eThe End of Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e (1960), \u003ci\u003eThe Coming of Post-Industrial Society\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), and \u003ci\u003eThe Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e (1976)--became hotly debated frameworks for understanding the era when they were published. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDefining the Age\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Starr and Julian E. Zelizer bring together a group of distinguished contributors to consider how well Bell's ideas captured their historical moment and continue to provide profound insights into today's world. Wide-ranging essays demonstrate how Bell's writing has informed thinking about subjects such as the history of socialism, the roots of the radical right, the emerging postindustrial society, and the role of the university. The book also examines Bell's intellectual trajectory and distinctive political stance. Calling himself \"a socialist in economics, a liberal in politics, and a conservative in culture,\" he resisted being pigeon-holed, especially as a neoconservative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDefining the Age\u003c\/i\u003e features essays from historians Jenny Andersson, David A. Bell, Michael Kazin, and Margaret O'Mara; sociologist Steven Brint; media scholar Fred Turner; and political theorists Jan-Werner Müller and Stefan Eich. While differing in their judgments, they agree on one premise: Bell's ideas deserve the kind of nuanced and serious attention that they finally receive in this book.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Starr is professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University, founding coeditor of \u003ci\u003eThe American Prospect\u003c\/i\u003e, and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction and Bancroft Prize in American history.
