AI overview
Herbert Marcuse was a German philosopher and political theorist (1898–1979) who developed influential critiques of modern capitalist society and its effects on human freedom. His ideas became especially important to radical movements in the 1960s because he argued that advanced industrial societies use culture and consumption to control people's desires and prevent them from imagining alternatives to the existing system.
