The main fault of this book is that it uses the 1950s as the index for a whole load of social indicators to show how the sixties more or less destroyed the social compact. But if you look at (at least) some of these social indicators, you find that the *fifties* were the outlier period. Just another demonstration of the lies, damn lies . . . . principle. Explaining why the fifties were an extraordinary period of stability might have made for an interesting book, but wouldn't have justified the present-day (socially conservative) policy initiatives Fukuyama clearly wants to agitate for. A fundamentally dishonest book. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In the past thirty years, the United States has undergone a profound transformation in its social structure: Crime has increased, trust has declined, families have broken down, and individualism has triumphed over community. Has the Great Disruption of recent decades rent the fabric of American society irreparably? In this brilliant and sweeping work of social, economic, and moral analysis, Francis Fukuyama shows that even as the old order has broken apart, a new social order is already taking its place. The Great Disruption forges a new model for understanding the Great Reconstruction that is under way. No library descriptions found. |
