Reddit reviews The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America

I just finished The Unwinding and it gave me some perspective on how we've gotten ourselves to this point.

The short-sightedness of some people is astounding.

Here's where I heard about it, pretty good book: [amazon link] (https://www.amazon.com/Unwinding-Inner-History-New-America/dp/0374534608/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525310625&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=george+packer+unraveled)

If you're actually trying to understand, George Packer had a big article in The New Yorker about it recently. I haven't finished it yet, but it's good so far, and Packer's a superb journalist who has been looking at this question since before the election (he wrote a book called The Unwinding).
