Of course recommended reading on capitalism's effects on culture and thought are the works of Adorno and Horkheimer, and Marcuse - who seems to have fallen a little out of favor but his work is as important as it was in the 60s.
- vvdcect 8y agoDo you have any recommendations on what books I should pick up? , I've only read about the authors you mentioned on https://plato.stanford.edu https://plato.stanford.edu and also through some philosophy podcasts..

You also can't miss Guy Debord (his Society of the Spectacle) and, although I haven't read him yet, Henri Lefebvre's "Critique of Everyday Life" is looking promising from what I've seen so far. I'd suggest browsing the Verso catalogue for old (republished) and new books, almost all of them center around cultural critique of capitalism[0].
