This work's author was indebted to the typologies of Karen Horney, and describes "the outcome of unlived life" as a method of neurotic escape. It draws from Jakob Burckhardt's writings that described medieval feudalism as an idyllic time of psychological sanity. This work extends that thesis and claims that urbanization and the Protestant Reformation began the destructive dialectical process, culminating in Marx's "alienation of labor", by which the titular action takes place. Begun while its author still affiliated with Max Horkheimer's Institute for Social Research, it takes a dim view of prospects for its central concept in both American and Nazi society, and prefigures Isaiah Berlin's demarcation of the titular concept into negative and positive aspects, the latter of which can degenerate into authoritarianism. For 10 points, identify this first book-length work of the author of The Art Of Loving, Erich Fromm.
