Really good explanation of Marx’s commodity fetishism, and Lukác’s History and Class Consciousness, and how Adorno drew from the latter. Much is on the concepts of use and exchange values.

End of the chapter on the Dialectic of Enlightenment. A most useful chapter, providing the necessary context, background and explanation to better allow me to grasp the original work. Essential to read before embarking on the actual work.
