Charles Derber shows how the US is moving toward sociocide - the erosion of durable, positive social relations in the economy, family, politics, and civil society essential to sustaining society itself - while offering pragmatic solutions.

Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relations, and the Quest for Democracy examines how new technologies and financial strategies are part of broader economic, environment, cultural, and political shifts that create tipping points generating more competition, distrust, isolation, and violence. In doing so, Derber spells out the implications for democracy and social cohesion. Importantly, he explores options that could stop the spiral and reconstruct a sustainable and equitable community, civil society, and democracy via emerging movements against neoliberalism capitalism, climate change, war - and in favor of labor solidarity, human rights, and community.
