Paperback. Etat : Good. This is an urgent, data-driven collection of essays from AEI scholar Nicholas Eberstadt that confronts America's paradox of unmatched wealth and power alongside rising discontent, examining the birth rate crisis and demographic decline, millions of men without work, welfare dependency, the education crisis, and mass criminality, and revealing a "New Misery" that challenges what Americans think they know about the nation's health as it approaches its 250th anniversary. As the USapproaches its 250th anniversary, American discontent bubbles beneath theimpending celebrations. Less confident in their own institutions andincreasingly dissatisfied with their country's international commitments,Americans are venting their frustration both at home and abroad.Yet thisdisaffection rumbles at the same time the US has achieved unparalleled wealthand unmatched global power. Why the disconnect? In this landmarkvolume, Nicholas Eberstadt answers that pressing question. Drawing on decadesof extraordinary scholarship, he lays out the nation's "human arithmetic" indemographic, social, and economic terms. He demonstratesthat 21st-century America, for all its marvels and blessings, is nonethelessbeset by a "New Misery": the practical and moral dilemmas of wealth in theabsence of well-being. New social afflictions hide in plain sight--among themthe astonishing flight of millions of men from the workforce and the surge incriminality, with over 20 million former felons living in our midst. In America'sHuman Arithmetic, Eberstadtoffers a compelling and frightening diagnosis of modern social dysfunction. Heshows that the United States' best years may yet be to come--but not ifAmericans are unwilling to face the challenges their human arithmetic laysbare. N° de réf. du vendeur 00110278313
