Not exactly on topic, but that's OK with me 
Theodore Roszak wrote the book The Making of a Counter-Culture, thus inventing the term, in 1969.

He was generally in favor of the counter-culture, though this was a study of it and its deeper roots. It's not about the value of free markets, as Reaganomics is. It's about liberation of consciousness from the technocratic society.
I went to hear him speak, I think it was at the Palo Alto Unitarian Church, in about the early 1980s. I can't quote him in print saying this, but I remember very clearly that he said that Reagan's movement against big government was a "fraudulent attempt" to mislead people who might be interested in or part of the counter-culture.
Roszak also wrote the introduction to Schumacher's 1973 book Small is Beautiful. In the lecture he talked about the link between personal and planetary liberation. The planet is big, he said in answer to my question, but it's institutions that have gotten too big that depersonalize society. He said society needed to be slowed down and scaled down, humanized and spiritualized. He was promoting his book Person/Planet: The Creative Disintegration of Industrial Society (1979).
