Pierre Bourdieu was one of the leading intellectuals of our times, a dissident sociologist who "assumed a public role in the tradition of Émile Zola and Jean-Paul Sartre" (New York Times). A 2007 Times of London survey of the most-cited authors in the humanities ranked Bourdieu ahead of every other noted thinker of the past century, second only to Michel Foucault. Bourdieu's writings helped inspire the mass movements against neoliberalism and globalization, and his books have been translated into dozens of languages, decisively shaping the way the world thinks about the changes wrought by the new global economy.
