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 Marxist-corporate-consumerist juggernaut that now defines the nation rolls on, the very factors that once propelled America to greatness-extreme individualism, territorial and economic expansion, and the pursuit of material wealth-are, paradoxically, the nails in our collective coffin. There is no longer the will or imagination necessary for organizing political pressure groups representing the best interests of the 270 million white majority. 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.
