Charles Derber

Charles Derber is an American academic, author and political activist. He is Professor of Sociology at Boston College. His work focuses on capitalism, globalization, corporate power and oligarchy, populism, authoritarianism and democracy, militarism, the climate crisis, cultural individualism, and social justice movements.

In Derber's view, the overwhelming economic and cultural power of global corporations, the crises of global capitalism and climate change, and the rise of Far-Right populist and neo-fascist threats to democracy, have become the pre-eminent problems of the 21st century. He advocates a new vision and political movement, orienting his research toward systemic analyses of what he believes are the intertwined crises society faces and the transformative potential of social movements aimed at creating a more democratic and egalitarian order.
