Description
The Age of Fracture marks a significant turning point in American history, as the ideas that shaped the country's social and economic landscape began to fragment in the late twentieth century. Daniel T. Rodgers explores how this shift in collective purpose and meaning had far-reaching consequences for American society. In this thought-provoking narrative, Rodgers examines the ways in which intellectual currents on both the left and right contributed to a fundamental rethinking of history and society. He considers the work of influential thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Ronald Reagan, Judith Butler, Charles Murray, Jeffrey Sachs, and others, to shed light on how structures of power gave way to market choice and fluid selves. As Rodgers surveys the intellectual landscape of late-twentieth-century America, he reveals how categories of social reality have been destabilized, leading to a present age of uncertainty. This book offers a powerful reinterpretation of the decades surrounding the 1980s, providing valuable insights into the complexities of American thought and society.
