Reset
“This is the end of the world as we’ve known it,” Kurt Andersen writes in Reset. “But it isn’t the end of the world.”
In this smart and refreshingly hopeful book, Andersen — a brilliant analyst and synthesizer of historical and cultural trends, as well as a bestselling novelist and host of public radio’s Studio 360 — shows us why the 2009 economic crisis was a moment of great opportunity to get ourselves and our nation back on track -— alas, mostly a missed opportunity.
Historically, America has always shifted between wild, exuberant speculation and steady, sober hard work, as well as back and forth between economic booms and busts, and between right and left politically. The 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession were one of the rare moments when all these cycles shifted dramatically and simultaneously.
