 Lundberg's debut book, "Imperial Hearst", was lauded by "Foreign Affairs" as "an annihilating study of the newspaper magnate" worthy of "wide attention" while, in modern times, Robert Caro and Ralph Nader have both cited Lundberg's "America's 60 Families" as early influences on themselves.Betty Friedan, meanwhile, wrote "The Feminine Mystique" as a rebuttal to Lundberg's "", taking its title from a phrase used by Lundberg in his book.In addition to his journalistic writing, Lundberg also spent 16 years as an adjunct professor of social philosophy at New York University.
