Ages of Discord

Age of Discord explores the troubling trends of inequality, increasing misery, and political instability that are plaguing America. Using historical analysis, the author shows that our current age shares similarities with previous Ages of Discord in societies throughout history. However, unlike societies in the past, we have the opportunity to take collective, cooperative action to avoid societal breakdown and violence. This book offers a cohesive theory and detailed historical data to help readers understand the underlying reasons for our current social, demographic, and political trends and empower us to act towards a more equitable, prosperous, and peaceful society.
