How to tell a story

My favorite cultural historian ...

... Morris Berman, has done it again in his new book, Why America Failed. Just into it ... much more later.


Berman establishes America's business-centered culture and hustling lifestyle values as our very soul - so it's not all that surprising how America turned out. 

The Occupy movement used to drive me up the wall with their "We're the 99%" signs. What a fantasy world! Progressives make up maybe 25% in a good year, which is rare and always has been. We are consumers, born and raised, and it takes considerable effort and some sacrifice to become anything else.

Berman documents how bad things really are.
