American Society

Art and Joseph Bensman teamed up to publish the "New American Society." Originally issued in 1971, this revised edition issued by Bergin and Garvey Publishers, brings their original analysis of American society into the realities of the late seventies and early 1980s when the United States began to face unprecedented economic challenges with emerging economies in Southeast Asia and the failure of our nation to police ourselves and the world and to maintain political leadership over our ascendant allies.

Art and Joe were constantly reassessing the state of our nation and this book represents a "status report" on American Society.
