John Ehrenreich

John Ehrenreich (born February 20, 1943) is an American clinical psychologist and social critic, who has published books on health policy, humanitarian policy, US history and US social policy. He is known for his development (with his then-wife, Barbara Ehrenreich) of the idea of the "medical–industrial complex" and the concept of the "professional–managerial class".

His book, ''Third Wave Capitalism: How Money, Power, and the Pursuit of Self-Interest Have Imperiled the American Dream (''Cornell University Press) was described by ''Washington Post'' columnist E.J. Dionne as "a brilliant take on what ails our society and our politics," and by Arlie Hochschild, author of ''Strangers in Their Own Land'', as "a fascinating 'long look' at America.... Sobering, startling, important―a big-think book."

His latest book is ''The Making of a Pandemic: Social, Political, and Psychological Perspectives on Covid-19'' (Springer). Provided by Wikipedia
