Daniel Bell is perhaps the most famous sociologist of his generation. He has been hailed as the prophet of the emergence of a new society, the postindustrial society, and as one of the leading conservative critics of contemporary culture.
In this invaluable introduction, Malcolm Waters presents Bell's arguments clearly and fairly, as well as noting the problems with his work. The three books that have made Bell famous, The End of Ideology, The Coming of Post-Capitalism are drawn upon, as well as his lesser known works on education and social forecasting. A thoroughly comprehensive account of a key, albeit highly controversial, contemporary sociological figure.

In Daniel Bell Waters opens with an illuminating discussion of Bell's biography, his intellectual interests and associates, political affiliations and value commitments. Bell's conceptual and theoretical innovation is analysed and situated in relation to other theoretical tendencies within the field of sociological enquiry.
