America's Human Arithmetic
0 - Default Title
Description
Yet this disaffection rumbles at the same time the US has achieved unparalleled wealth and unmatched global power. Why the disconnect?
In this landmark volume, Nicholas Eberstadt answers that pressing question. Drawing on decades of extraordinary scholarship, he lays out the nation's "human arithmetic" in demographic, social, and economic terms.
He demonstrates that 21st-century America, for all its marvels and blessings, is nonetheless beset by a "New Misery": the practical and moral dilemmas of wealth in the absence of well-being. New social afflictions hide in plain sight-among them the astonishing flight of millions of men from the workforce and the surge in criminality, with over 20 million former felons living in our midst.
In America's Human Arithmetic, Eberstadt offers a compelling and frightening diagnosis of modern social dysfunction. He shows that the United States' best years may yet be to come-but not if Americans are unwilling to face the challenges their human arithmetic lays bare.
