Mestrovic writes to Wolff in his letter: “It seems that you and I share some similar concerns about Sociology’s role in a world that seems to be on the brink of disaster, as well as an openness to pessimism as a counter-balance to boosterish optimism.” Mestrovic continues by consoling Wolff about the death of his wife and then talks about a meeting with american philosopher and sociologist David Riesman in which they talked about the role of the USA in the war with Iraq [First Gulf War]. He continues to say that “It seems that many of his [Riesman’s] observations on US foreign policy and mar-making tactics in his ‘Abundance for What ?’ still apply”.
