Specificatii
From the award-winning journalist and best-selling author of
America's Bitter Pill a tour de force examination of 1. How and why
major American institutions no longer serve us as they should,
causing a deep rift between the vulnerable majority and the
protected few, and 2. How some individuals and organizations are
laying the foundation for real, lasting change. In this revelatory
narrative, Steven Brill gives us a stunningly cogent picture of the
broken system at the heart of our society. He shows us how, over
the last half-century, America's core values--meritocracy,
innovation, due process, free speech, and even democracy
itself--have somehow managed to power its decline into dysfunction.
They have isolated our best and brightest, whose positions at the
top have never been more secure or more remote. The result has been
an erosion of responsibility and accountability, an epidemic of
short-sightedness, an increasingly hollow economic and political
center, and millions of Americans gripped by apathy and
hopelessness. By examining the people and forces behind the rise of
big-money lobbying, legal and financial engineering, the demise of
private-sector unions, and a hamstrung bureaucracy, Brill answers
the question on everyone's mind: How did we end up this way?
Finally, he introduces us to those working quietly and effectively
to repair the damages. At once a diagnosis of our national ills, a
history of their development, and a prescription for a brighter
future, Tailspin is a work of riveting journalism--and a welcome
antidote for political despair.
