A sociological study of the English counterculture of the 1960s and early 1970s, examining generational consciousness, economic change, work, social values and the emergence of a more open society.

Frank Musgrove argues that counterculture grew less from alienation than from expanding opportunity and changing expectations, drawing on interviews, fieldwork and survey material to explore the attitudes of a generation in transition.
