Recommended: The Four American Narratives

David Brooks had an excellent piece in the May 26 New York Times, The Four American Narratives.  It is well worth reading, as is the Summer 2017 American Affairs article by Michael Lind, The New Class War, that inspired it.

It is certainly clear that neither the traditional conservative nor the traditional liberal ideology is working in current politics, and that something new and different has to emerge. Brooks and Lind suggest what that new political ideology might be.
