To Hell With Culture by Herbert Read
A polemic rejecting the idea of culture as a narrow, institutionalized set of elite tastes and rules, arguing that genuine culture is spontaneous, creative, and rooted in individual freedom and everyday life; it criticizes modern industrial society and bourgeois values for stifling imagination, challenges centralized cultural authority and authoritarian politics, and calls for educational and social reforms that decentralize power, nurture artistic instinct, and reconnect art with communal and humane aims.
