Tailspin

In 'Tailspin', Steven Brill provides a comprehensive narrative covering the years 1967 to 2017, highlighting how America's core values have been eroded by big-money lobbying, legal and financial engineering, and other factors.

The book not only diagnoses these issues but also offers hopeful examples of individuals and organizations working to reverse the decline.

Brill argues that meritocracy, while intended to promote fairness, has inadvertently entrenched the upper classes, leading to a society where corporations and the wealthy are increasingly protected at the expense of the general population.
