あらすじ・解説

In this revelatory narrative covering the years 1967 to 2017, Steven Brill gives us a stunningly cogent picture of the broken system at the heart of our society. He shows us how, over the last half-century, America's core values - meritocracy, innovation, due process, free speech, and even democracy itself - have somehow managed to power its decline into dysfunction. They have isolated our best and brightest, whose positions at the top have never been more secure or more remote. The result has been an erosion of responsibility and accountability, an epidemic of shortsightedness, an increasingly hollow economic and political center, and millions of Americans gripped by apathy and hopelessness.

By examining the people and forces behind the rise of big-money lobbying, legal and financial engineering, the demise of private-sector unions, and a hamstrung bureaucracy, Brill answers the question on everyone's mind: How did we end up this way? Finally, he introduces us to those working quietly and effectively to repair the damages.

At once a diagnosis of our national ills, a history of their development, and a prescription for a brighter future, Tailspin is a work of riveting journalism - and a welcome antidote to political despair.

批評家のレビュー

“Persuasive, bracing...an essential read if you want to understand the pressures that have brought a sclerotic Uncle Sam to his knees." (Alexander C. Kafka, Los Angeles Review of Books)

Tailspin distinguishes itself within the America Gone Wrong genre.... All of the book’s chapters on the law crackle with energy.... In a downbeat era, Tailspin offers some modest ammunition for hope.” (Daniel W. Drezner, The New York Times Book Review)

"Steven Brill's Tailspin does precisely what the daily torrent of news does not: make sense. The book is nothing less than a unified (and persuasive) theory of everything - including politics, business, culture - and it even includes several glimmers of hope amid the pervasive darkness." (Jeffrey Toobin, author of American Heiress)
