Turning the Corner
America has cycled between individualistic and communitarian societies over the past century. This analysis explores how the nation transitioned from an 'I' society to a 'We' society and then back again, mirroring the Gilded Age's stark individualism, inequality, and polarization. By understanding these historical shifts, the book suggests how the country can overcome its current disarray and foster a more cooperative future.
