Peter Brückner's concern was to think about the overall social context of economy, politics, culture, social issues, and the psyche. Almost four decades after the publication of his work "Social Psychology of Capitalism," this volume deals with the relevance of the perspectives opened by Brückner at the time. The contributions address current social conflicts and problems in the fields of psychology and social sciences, university and scientific development, intrapsychological controversies, health care and psychotherapy, poverty development, segregation and migration, as well as media, power, and subjectivity. With contributions by Claudia Barth, Josef Berghold, Burkhard Bierhoff, Gernot Böhme, Klaus-Jürgen Bruder, Almuth Bruder-Bezzel, Markus Brunner, Gerd Dembowski, Uwe Findeisen, Christoph Jünke, Martin Kronauer, and Juliko Lefelmann.
