An honest and unflinching look at the final phase of the American empire, and the sources of our decline.
The Twilight of American Culture appeared in 2000 like a thunderbolt, warning that America's corporate culture and rampant materialism would set of an international counter-response. In his new work, Morris Berman discusses the coming collapse of the American economy, the erosion of democratic ideals, and the emergence of a "seamless propaganda machine" that has destroyed popular discourse to the point that we now dwell in a miasma of propagandistic fog. Berman's central point is that it is the specific details of the way we liveβour values and daily behaviorβthat have brought about this state of affairs, from which there can be no return.
