About This Item
London: Duckworth, 2001. 1st U.K. ed.. Paperback octavo (with flaps), very good condition, pages faintly toned, minor edgewear. 208 pp. Paperback octavo U.K. edition (Duckworth, London). Morris Berman provides an impassioned description of the degraded state of American culture, which has seen its most triumphant years and heading towards chaos: corrupt politics, the "rambification" of popular entertainment, the collapse of education. He argues that we can still preserve cultural values, refuse kitsch and consumerism, profit and self-promotion. The American academic social critic previously wrote the bestselling "The Reenchantment of the World".
