Discover the path to understanding modern society

Modern Man in the Making is a scholarly publication by Otto Neurath that explores how the modern individual and society were shaped in connection with industrial development, the economy, and social changes. The book is also known for its emphasis on clear explanations of social topics, often through concise diagrams and visual elements.

The title refers to the “making” of the modern person within a broader historical and social context - it is not a self-help manual, but rather a perspective on transformations in life, work, and everyday life in the modern era. It is suitable for readers interested in the humanities and social sciences, the history of modernity, and methods of popularizing data.
