Description
The election of Donald Trump has exposed American society's profound crisis of hope. By 2016, a generation was facing shrinking employment, rising inequality, and the erosion of public education and social safety nets. Against this dire background, Ronald Aronson offers an answer. Aronson argues that social hope is not just a feeling, but a fundamental basis for social will and political action. He examines how our story - marked by catastrophic violence and ambiguous progress over the past century - has contributed to the loss of social hope. Yet, he shows that even in this time of crisis, social hope still persists. In this book, Aronson explores what kind of hope can help us navigate today's challenges. He looks at two contrasting visions: one that advocates for collective action to create a more equal and democratic society, and another that relies on an authoritarian strongman.
