Culture Crash
Scott Timberg chronicles how the Internet, the financial crisis, and the broader shift to a post‑industrial economy have reshaped the fabric of American popular culture. The book calls attention to the human costs and unintended consequences that the new digital world imposes on artists, writers, and other cultural workers.
Through an examination of the shuttering of independent bookstores, the collapse of traditional newspapers, and the rise of music piracy, Timberg shows how these changes impact creative ability, social classes, and the overall cultural landscape of the United States.

Since its original publication in 1976, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism has been hailed as an intellectual tour de force that redefines how we think about the relationship among econmomics, culture, and social change. Daniel Bell, the author of such other modern classics as The End of Ideology and The Coming of Post-Industrial Society, argues that the unbounded drive of modern capitalism undermines the moral foundations of the original Protestant ethic that ushered in capitalism itself.
In a major new afterword, Bell offers a bracing perspective on contemporary Western society, from the end of the Cold War to the rise and fall of postmodernism, revealing the crucial cultural fault lines we face as the twenty-first century approaches.
