Slouching Towards Gomorrah by Robert H. Bork

Modern Liberalism and American Decline

A polemical critique arguing that late-20th-century American culture is in moral and intellectual decline, driven by permissiveness, relativism, and the erosion of traditional family and religious values. It blames popular entertainment, academia, the judiciary, and liberal elites for promoting decadence and weakening social institutions, and warns that without a return to stricter moral standards and respect for Western traditions, democratic society will suffer further decay.
