The book was written by Theodore Dorno and Max Horkheimer, two members of the Frankfurt School, and focused on the connection between the trappings of capitalism and the alienation of society, particularly after World War Two.
Theodore Dorno and Max Horkheimer, two members of the Frankfurt School who co-wrote the book The Dialectic of Enlightenment, would no doubt agree that capitalism is responsible for all these changes and what's possible for the average person.
Theodore Adorno says quote, that in an age of spiritual disenchantment the individual experiences the need for substitute images of the divine.
It obtains these through pseudo-culture.
Hollywood idols, soaps, novels, pop tunes, lyrics, and film genres such as the Wild West or the Mafia movie fashion substitute mythologies for the masses.
End quote.
