The age of entitlement
America since the sixties
Book • 2020
In this book, Christopher Caldwell argues that the reforms of the 1960s, intended to make the nation more just and humane, have come with staggering costs in wealth, freedom, and social stability.
These costs have been unevenly distributed among classes and generations.
Caldwell explores key political turning points over the past half-century, including affirmative action, leveraged buyouts, iPhones, Oxycotin, Black Lives Matter, and internet cookies, showing how these reforms have led to two incompatible political systems and driven the country toward conflict.
