Historical
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 live—our values and daily
behavior—that have brought about this state of affairs, from
which there can be no return.
