It may be a defect, but I can't help it."

Work
Enzensberger wrote in a sarcastic, ironic tone in many of his poems.{{cite web|url=http://www.literaturkritik.de/public/rezension.php?rez_id=608|title=Mit englischer Behendigkeit Hans Magnus Enzensberger als Nachdichter|last=Schmid|first=Helge|date=November 1999|publisher=literaturkritik.de|language=de|access-date=3 August 2014}} For example, the poem "Middle Class Blues" consists of various typicalities of middle class life, with the phrase "we can't complain" repeated several times, and concludes with "what are we waiting for?". Many of his poems also feature themes of civil unrest over economic- and class-based issues. Though primarily a poet and essayist, he also ventured into theatre, film, opera, radio drama, reportage and translation. He wrote novels and several books for children (including The Number Devil, an exploration of mathematics, translated in 34 languages){{cite web | title=Aktuelles | website=Hanser Literaturverlage | url=https://www.hanser-literaturverlage.de/aktuelles/hans-magnus-enzensberger | access-date=27 November 2022}} and was co-author of a book for German as a foreign language, (Die Suche).{{cite book | author=Volker Eismann | title=Die Suche / Bd. 1 Materialien. 1, Textbuch. | publisher=Langenscheidt | publication-place=Berlin | date=1993 | isbn=3-468-47600-0 | oclc=311891908 | language=de | page=}} He often wrote his poems and letters in lower case.{{cite web | last1=Lopez | first1=Christina Pulido | last2=Bewerunge | first2=Martin | title=Im Alter von 93 Jahren: Schriftsteller Hans Magnus Enzensberger gestorben | website=RP Online | date=25 November 2022 | url=https://rp-online.de/kultur/buch/schriftsteller-hans-magnus-enzensberger-gestorben_aid-80501403 | language=de | access-date=26 November 2022}} Tumult, written in 2014, is an autobiographical reflection of his 1960s as a left-wing sympathizer visiting the Soviet Union and Cuba.{{cite book | last=Enzensberger | first=Hans Magnus | title=Tumult | publication-place=Berlin | date=2014 | isbn=978-3-518-42464-3 | oclc=893893496 | language=lv | page=}}{{cite web | title=Hans Magnus Enzensberger | website=Deutschlandfunk | date=9 November 2014 | url=https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/hans-magnus-enzensberger-autobiografisches-aus-der-100.html | language=de | access-date=27 November 2022}} His own work has been translated into more than 40 languages.

= "Consciousness industry" =
Enzensberger's 1974 work The consciousness industry; on literature, politics and the media gave rise to the term "consciousness industry", which identifies the mechanisms through which the human mind is reproduced as a social product. Foremost among these mechanisms are the institutions of mass media and education. According to Enzensberger, the mind industry does not produce anything specific; rather, its main business is to perpetuate the existing order of man's domination over man.Enzensberger, H. M. (1974). The Consciousness Industry: On Literature, Politics and the Media. New York: Continuum Books/ Seabury Press. Hans Haacke elaborates on the consciousness industry as it applies to the arts in a wider system of production, distribution, and consumption.Haacke, H. (1983/2006). "Museums: Managers of consciousness," in Hans Haacke : For real : Works 1959-2006. M. Flügge & R. Fleck (eds.), H. Haacke & S. Lindberg (trans.) pp. 273–281. Düsseldorf : Richter.{{Rp|273}} Haacke specifically implicates museums as manufacturers of aesthetic perception that fail to acknowledge their intellectual, political, and moral authority: "rather than sponsoring intelligent, critical awareness, museums thus tend to foster appeasement."{{Rp|280}}
