Produktinformationen "American Happiness and Discontents"
Examine the ways in which expertise, reason, and manners are continually under attack in our institutions, courts, political arenas, and social venues with this collection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative columnist. In this collection, George F. Will, referred to by the Wall Street Journal as ""perhaps the most powerful journalist in America"", examines a remarkably unsettling thirteen years in our nation’s experience, from 2008 to 2020. Included are a number of columns about court cases, mostly from the Supreme Court, that illuminate why the composition of the federal judiciary has become such a contentious subject. Other topics addressed include the American Revolutionary War, historical figures from Frederick Douglass to JFK, as well as a scathing assessment of how State of the Union Addresses are delivered in the modern day. American Happiness and Discontents is a collection packed with wisdom and leavened by humor from one the preeminent columnists and intellectuals of our time.
