Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Berman, an innovative cultural historian and social critic, offers an
engaging account of our cultural decline. He reminds us of the
persistence of the gap between rich and poor, the decline of
functional literacy, and the antipathy our culture has toward
anything intellectual. He explains how Enlightenment success devolved
from free rational inquiry to commercialism to
consumer emptiness, and argues for the refusal to base our lives on
profit. The author has held visiting professorships in the US and
Europe.
