Publisher's Summary
C. Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social science should be pursued. Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

The Single Key To All Human Understanding
READ THE APPENDIX
C. Wright Mills is a forgotten genius.
This book may constitute one of the first times I have ever read the truth.
Mills does not "TELL" you the truth, he simply attempts to translate his exact perception of human reality directly to you. In this effort, he succeeds more perfectly than I thought was possible.
Mills writing in 1957, delivers his view of the world at the moment before it is completely submerged in permanent deception and propaganda.
The speaker is decent, yet seems more confident and intelligent as the book ends... almost as if the very reading of the book transformed him.

Crucial book of sociology
As the afterword makes clear, Mills’s work is as useful today as it was in 1959. It is a testimony to his commitment to public scholarship that the work is largely devoid of sociological jargon, and works very well as an audiobook, especially given Brandt’s excellent narration.
