The greening of America

Published in 1970, 'The Greening of America' is a seminal work that captures the essence of the counterculture movement.

The book introduces a typology of three types of consciousness: Consciousness I (village life), Consciousness II (Corporate State), and Consciousness III (a radical, idealistic new consciousness).

Reich argues that social and political change must begin with individual transformation, leading to cultural and eventually systemic change.

The book was widely discussed and debated upon its release, reflecting the societal upheavals of the time.
