Talk:Christopher Lasch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I added a note qualifying the statement about Lasch's alleged anti-feminism. It may be taken as biased, but I thought there needed to be something to balance the quote--especially since there's so little else in the article.

Maybe Lasch isn't a big name anymore, but the article is totally inadequate. There is next to no mention of the best-selling Culture of Narcissism; his supposed authorship of Jimmy Carter's "malaise speech;" his involved critiques of both the New Left and neo-conservatism; indeed, hardly anything aside from a very hostile characterization by Susan Faludi.--WadeMcR 22:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

As someone who knows little about Lasch but is interested in learning more, I think that it would be great if you made the additions you mentioned to the article. Euchrid 02:40, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the external link. Objectively, I think it was fairly biased and poorly researched, referring to an ideological opposition to capitalism and consumerism as "classically leftist" and spouting off other such nonsense. See George Grant's Red Toryism for further information.
