Routledge Authority and Its Enemies - Political Science Book

In Authority and Its Enemies, Thomas Molnar examines the ideological warfare against authority that emerged in the 1960s and continues into the 1990s. This work analyzes how the assault on legitimate authority has impacted higher education and various social structures, including the roles of parents, teachers, and law enforcement. As traditional institutions face instability, Molnar explores the consequences of a Western world reacting to an overdose of freedom. This book provides a deep look into the shift from the era of the hippies to the modern era, where the struggle against established authority remains active. It is a significant text for those studying political science, ideology, and the history of social change.
