German sociologists honored Marx’s 150th birthday by debating late capitalism

Evidence

On 8 April 1968 Adorno, as departing chairman of the German Sociological Association, had given the opening lecture at the Sixteenth German Sociology Conference, which was being held in Frankfurt. The central theme of the conference, the theme to which Adorno’s lecture was also devoted, was `Late Capitalism or Industrial Society?’ The choice of topic related to the 150th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth, but it also indicated a kind of reverence for the student movement. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 661
