The Unwinding by George Packer
America is in crisis. In the space of a generation, it has become more than ever a country of winners and losers, as industries have failed, institutions have disappeared and the country's focus has shifted to idolise celebrity and wealth. This book tells the story of America over the years, empathizing with those facing difficult challenges.
