Since you are responding to my comment: I like and believe it or not, recreationally read continental philosophy: this is a book "review" for the rerelease of the book "the authoritarian personality" -which is a work of sociology and a fraud. You have to read the article carefully to realize this. I disagree that nepotism is a reason to take a thinker seriously, but that's not relevant towards this article touting Adorno's fraud of a book. It's also a tremendously hostile book. As Lasch put it, the substance of the book, bad stats and all, is that he thinks the culture he lived in is sick and needs therapy. There's a more parsimonious explanation.
