Dark Ages America: The Final Phase of Empire

Dark Ages America: The Final Phase of Empire

"Provocative...stimulating and insightful."â€•Publishers Weekly
In Dark Ages America, the pundit Morris Berman argues that the nation has entered a dangerous phase in its historical development from which there is no return. As the corporate-consumerist juggernaut that now defines the nation rolls on, the very factors that once propelled America to greatnessâ€•extreme individualism, territorial and economic expansion, and the pursuit of material wealthâ€•are, paradoxically, the nails in our collective coffin. Within a few decades, Berman argues, the United States will be marginalized on the world stage, its hegemony replaced by China or the European Union. With the United States just one terrorist attack away from a police state, Berman's book is a controversial and illuminating look at our current society and its ills.
