The late Joe Brown explores the contemporary US culture through the prism of Pitririm Sorokin's "The Crisis of Our Age" [1940]. Sorokin, well in advance of our time, understood what was to come. Brown explores that what has come and is coming to pass in America, recognizing that indeed we live in a terrible and frightening culture that is captivated by the 5 senses.
These two books plus Richard Weaver's classic "Ideas Have Consequences" are must reads if any reader wants to understand the awkwardness of culture and society in 2010.
