The book analyzes what has gone wrong with the United States since its inception, and the problems we now face as a result. It discuss the elements of a healthy human identity--elements that are largely absent from the American scene. And it poses alternatives to all of this, models already present in the consciousness of a few, and which, post-collapse, may possibly be realized several decades down the line. In the course of this discussion, the author reviews the pathology of smart phones and related electronic gadgets; the phenomenon of Hillary Clinton as an archetypal American disaster, and of Joe Bageant as an unsung hero; and the visionary work of scholars such as Pitirim Sorokin and Lewis Mumford. All in all, \u003cem\u003eAre We There Yet?\u003c\/em\u003e will have you thinking about what the possibilities are for achieving some semblance of sanity in a world completely out of kilter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders interested in related titles from Morris Berman will also want to see: Coming to Our Senses (ISBN: 1626542910), Spinning Straw Into Gold (ISBN: 1635610532).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984090431789,"sku":"9781635610567","price":27.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/bnQyZUIwUzluRG9Ga3FnYU95VHhzZz09.webp?v=1776081868","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/are-we-there-yet-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
