This book explores the complex psychological developments shaping the post-World War I American political landscape. The author details how pervasive societal disillusionment with the pre-war elite fostered the election of President Warren G. Harding and the subsequent dismantling of their political machine. Harding's signature policies, like the Daylight Saving Time Act, attempted to preserve the past while simultaneously acknowledging the need for change. The author uses Harding's presidency as a case study for the broader national mood, analyzing how a profound loss of faith in scientific progress and economic determinism gave way to a new emphasis on human agency and a skepticism towards authority. This insightful book examines the causes and consequences of this shift, revealing an America grappling with its role in an uncertain postwar world.
