America. Yesterday, today, tomorrow: How democrats and republicans split one country in two

Most books about America are written to make you feel right. This one is not.Written with a thermonuclear mix of post-irony, scholarly analysis, and caustic sarcasm, America: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow is not a political manifesto or a dry history textbook. It is a deep-dive autopsy of a country that is simultaneously the last bastion of freedom and a capitalist hell.The Author’s Perspective:Having visited more than 90 countries and lived in two of them—Russia and the United States—the author brings a unique "outsider-insider" perspective that ignores the propaganda of both the Left and the Right.What’s Inside:Yesterday: Why the U.S. was never meant to be a democracy, and why that matters now.Today: An atomic-level deconstruction of immigration, gun violence, BLM protests, and why the U.S. is starting to mirror the structural crises of developing nations.Tomorrow: A sober look at the death of the American Dream, the roots of the Great Divide, and the rise of Donald Trump as the ultimate symbol of a society’s contradictions.If you are looking for confirmation of what you already believe, this is the wrong book. If you want to understand how the internal mechanisms of America actually work—and why they drive people mad—this is the book for you. Read more
