Adrift: America Charts

Scott Galloway, a bestselling author and professor at NYU business school, presents an urgent examination of the future of America in his latest book. We are just beginning to face the challenges of a post-pandemic world. With the rise of political extremism, the great resignation impacting businesses, and supply chain problems causing financial difficulties, we are forced to ask crucial questions. Is our democracy in danger? How will Big Tech reshape our lives? What does job security look like in this new landscape?

America is on the verge of significant change that will disrupt our economy and have a profound impact on the middle class, the backbone of our nation. In "Adrift," Galloway delves into the past, from 1945 to the present, to explain how America has reached this critical point. Through 100 charts, he traces the nation's history, highlighting crises like Jim Crow, World War II, and the 2008 Stock Market Crash, as well as the growing influence of technology, entrenched white patriarchy, and the socio-economic aftermath of the pandemic.

"Adrift" aims to make sense of these complexities and offers Galloway's unique perspective on our future trajectory and identity. The book covers a range of topics, from online dating to minimum wage to the American dream. Similar to the pivotal years of 1945 and 1980, America faces another crossroads. What will it require for our nation to adapt to the rapid and tumultuous changes of our new reality?
