The Fourth Great Awakening and the Future of Egalitarianism

"Fogel contends that the ethical and political crises that currently beset the nation are the most recent manifestations of the recurring effort to bring human institutions into balance with the massive technological changes that drastically transform the economy and periodically destabilize the prevailing culture. Today, as in the past, that process of adjustment involves the rise of powerful religious/political movements which historians refer to as "Great Awakenings.""--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: Americans are more deeply divided and angry with each other today than at any time since the 1850s.
