"Gamers," Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart

The United States since 1965

About this book

A groundbreaking analysis of the forces shaping modern America.

"Gamers," Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart offers a fresh, interdisciplinary history of the United States since 1965, describing and analyzing the changing American society, character, and major events. It seeks to answer how and why the United States changed during the 51 years of the global era from 1965 to 2016, how and why it has done so in the new era since 2016, and how and why the major events of both periods occurred.

Explore the rise of the "gamers," a new upper class adapted to various markets but alienated from leadership, and the impact of multiculturalism on American identity. Discover how these forces led to political, social, and moral divisions, weakening the country and making it internationally vulnerable. This is a panoramic view of the United States, broadening and deepening the understanding of our current paradigm conflict. Perfect for readers interested in understanding the roots of today's social and political landscape.
