Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dwight Macdonald (1906-1982) was an American writer, editor, social critic, philosopher, and political radical. Macdonald was born in New York City and was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy and Yale University. His first job was as a trainee executive for Macy's but he soon moved to Time, where he was offered a position by his fellow Yale alumnusHenry Luce. From 1929 Macdonald was an associate editor at Luce's ambitious Fortune, an unexpected position for someone with Macdonald's literary interests. Like many writers on Fortune, his politics were radicalized by the GreatDepression. He resigned from the magazine in 1936 over an editorial dispute, when the magazine's executives severely edited the last installment of his extended four-part attack on U.S. Steel. In 1934, he married Nancy Gardiner Rodman (1910-1996), sister of Selden Rodman.
