All That Is Sold Melts into Air is a dazzling exploration of modern consciousness. In this unparalleled book, Marshall Berman takes account of the social changes that swept millions of people into the capitalist world and the impact of modernism on art, literature and architecture. This new edition contains an updated preface addressing the critical role the onset of modernism played in popular democratic upheavals in the late 1920s.
Marshall Berman teaches at CUNY in New York, is on the editorial board of Dissent and contributes regularly to The Nation. He is the author of Adventures in Marxism, also from Verso.
