America
in the Age of Trump
Opportunities
and Oppositions in an Unsettled World
By
Doug Schoen & Jessica Tarlov
America in the Age of Trump by Doug Schoen and Jessica Tarlov is
a bracing, essential look at the failure of a great nation to meet the needs of
its people and the challenges of the age—and the resulting collapse of public
trust in government, as well as a pervasive crisis of national values, from
broken families to a loss of faith in the American idea itself.
This
crisis of values occurs just as the country faces an unprecedented array of
fiscal, economic, social, and national-security challenges—out of control
federal spending, frighteningly large deficits, massive gaps of income and
opportunity, cultural division, and a dangerous world in which American power
seems increasingly incidental.
In
America
in the Age of Trump, Doug Schoen and Jessica Tarlov offer a
definitive and unique assessment of a nation in turmoil, looking beneath
well-known problems to identify underlying yet poorly understood causes.
Readers will confront the crises, one by one: of trust, values, and governance;
of education, economic opportunity, and fiscal solvency; of national security,
domestic tranquility, and race relations.
In
America
in the Age of Trump, Doug addresses:
- How Trump can be more bipartisan;
- Clear plans to fix health care;
- Plans to fix the budget and entitlements;
- How to restore confidence in the American system; and
- How to revitalize defense and bring the country back together.
America in
the Age of Trump gathers
in one place a clear and comprehensive evaluation of the fundamental issues
confronting the American future while offering bold, fresh approaches to
meeting these challenges. Other books have described the specter of American
decline, but none has been so comprehensive in its diagnosis or
forward-looking—and non-ideological—in its remedies, explaining how we might
yet overcome national self-doubt to reclaim our traditional optimism, reassert
our place in the world, and secure a prosperous future for our citizens.
