Culture Jam

The Uncooling of America

How to reverse America’s suicidal consumer binge — and why we must.

$15.00 (Shipping Included).

Culture Jam

Kalle Lasn, editor of Adbusters magazine, argues that America is no longer a country, but a multitrillion-dollar brand. America™ is no different from McDonald’s, Marlboro or General Motors. It’s an image “sold” not only to the citizens of the U.S.A., but to consumers worldwide. The American brand is associated with catchwords such as “democracy,” “opportunity” and “freedom.” But like cigarettes that are sold as symbols of vitality and youthful rebellion, the American reality is very different from its brand image.

Culture Jam is also available in German, Italian, Turkish, Dutch, Spanish, Estonian and Hebrew. America™ has been subverted by corporate agendas. Its elected officials bow before corporate power as a condition of their survival in office. A collective sense of powerlessness and disillusionment has set in. A deeply felt sense of betrayal is brewing.

A brilliant and essential survival manual for our species.”
— David Korten, Author of The Post-Corporate World: Life After Capitalism

An eloquent manifesto of anti-commercialism worthy of predecessors like Thoreau and Huxley.”
— Kirkus Reviews

The second American revolution is underway and Kalle Lasn is one of its Tom Paines.”
— Vicki Robin, Co-Author of Your Money or Your Life

This is one very cool book and one very cool idea.”
— Esquire magazine
