Christopher Hayes
Feeling “mad and hell and not going to take it anymore?” You’re not alone. As Christopher Hayes, Editor at Large of The Nation and host of Up w/ Chris Hayes on MSNBC describes in Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy (Crown, $26.00), Americans have watched in bafflement and rage as one institution after another – from Wall Street to Congress, the Catholic Church to corporate America, even Major League Baseball – imploded under the weight of corruption and incompetence. In the wake of the Fail Decade, Americans have historically low levels of trust in their institutions; the social contract between ordinary citizens and elites lies in tatters. Join Hayes as he explains how our quest for equality created an entrenched elite class intent on maintaining power, and what we can do to restore a sense of balance to a nation suffering with a bad case of vertigo.
