Description
The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties by Christopher Caldwell
A major intellectual and journalist makes the case that the reforms of the 1960s, intended to make the nation more just and humane, have had unforeseen consequences. Caldwell argues that even the most well-intentioned reforms have come with significant costs, including wealth, freedom, and social stability.
This book takes a roller-coaster ride through key events and ideas of the past half-century, from the liberal uprising of the 1960s to the present day. Caldwell reveals the real political turning points of the past fifty years and shows how the country has been driven towards conflict between two incompatible systems.
