Freund’s speculative essay on how a person's bodily health is related to the society in which he lives—a synthesis of studies in the social causation of disease that range from the pathology of civilization itself to specific occupational hazards. From an examination of industrial work routines, ecological pollution, everyday stress patterns, racial and class struggles, mobility and economic dysfunctions, temporal and spatial disorientation, anomie and alienation, the author derives a picture of the social destruction of the individual.
