January 25, 2011) was an American sociologist, writer, editor,

and professor at Harvard University, best known for his contributions to the

study of post-industrialism. He has

been described as "one of the leading American intellectuals of the

postwar era". His three best known works are The End of Ideology, The

Bell was born in 1919 in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. His parents, Benjamin and Anna originally from Eastern Europe. They

worked in the garment industry. His father died when he was eight months

old, and he grew up poor, living with relatives along with his mother and

his older brother Leo. When he was 13 years old, the family's name was changed

from Bolotsky to Bell. Bell was graduated from Stuyvesant High School. He

received a bachelor's degree from the City College of New York in

1938, and completed graduate work at Columbia University during

the 1938–1939 academic year. He received a Ph.D. in sociology from Columbia in 1961 after he was permitted to

submit The End of Ideology: On the Exhaustion of Political Ideas in the

Fifties (a 1960 essay collection), instead of a conventional doctoral dissertation. Bell

began his professional life as a journalist, being managing editor of The New Leader magazine (1941–1945), labor later, co-editor (with his college friend Irving Kristol) of The Public Interest magazine

(1965–1973). In the late 1940s, Bell was an Instructor in the Social Sciences

in the College of the University of Chicago.

During the 1950s, it was close to the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

Subsequently, he taught sociology, first at Columbia (1959–1969) and then

at Harvard until his

retirement in 1990. He was elected a Fellow of the American

Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1964. Bell also was the

visiting Pitt Professor of American History and Institutions at Cambridge University in

1987. He served as a member of the President's Commission on Technology in

1964–1965 and as a member of the President's Commission on a National Agenda

for the 1980s in 1979. Bell served on the board of advisors for

the Antioch Review, and

published some of his most acclaimed essays in the magazine: "Crime as an

American Way of Life" (1953), "Socialism: The Dream and the

Reality" (1952), "Japanese Notebook" (1958), "Ethics and

Evil: Frameworks for Twenty-First Century Culture" (2005), and "The

Reconstruction of Liberal Education: A Foundational Syllabus" (2011).

Bell received honorary degrees from Harvard, the University of Chicago, and

fourteen other universities in the United States, as well as from Edinburgh Napier

University and Keio University in Japan.

He also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Sociological

Association in 1992, and the Talcott Parsons Prize for the Social Sciences from the

American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1993. He was given the Tocqueville

Award by the French government in 1995. Bell was a director of Suntory

Foundation and a scholar in residence of the American Academy of Arts and

Sciences. Bell once described himself as a "socialist in economics, a

liberal in politics, and a conservative in culture." Bell is best known

for his contributions to post-industrialism. His

most influential books are, The End of Ideology (1960), The

Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism (1976), and The Coming of Post-Industrial

Society (1973). Two of his books, the End of Ideology and

the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, were listed by the Times Literary Supplement as

among the 100 most important books in the second half of the twentieth century.

Besides Bell only Isaiah Berlin, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Albert Camus, George Orwell, and Hannah Arendt, had two books so listed. In The End of Ideology (1960),

Bell suggests that the older grand humanistic ideologies, derived from the

nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are exhausted and that new more

parochial ideologies will soon arise. With the rise of affluent welfare states

and institutionalized bargaining between different groups, Bell maintains,

revolutionary movements which aims to overthrow liberal democracy will no

longer be able to attract the working classes.
