Raging is right.

Every once in a while, you stumble on a book that lays out in an intelligent and comprehensive way the way that you, the individual feel about a particular topic, and for that, you, the individual are very glad, because the only way you knew how to express yourself about said topic is <I>incoherent screaming</I>. I can only thank Alec J. Ross for being the vector through which so many of my thoughts were conveyed.

<I>The Raging 2020s</I> is a deeply insightful look into what we the people and workers, our governments and nations, and our corporate entities, owe, as Chidi Anagonye and TM Scanlon would say, each other in the second decade of the 21st century, what we're not getting from the institutions tasked to be the stewards of the people they represent, and how we got here in the first place. Ross takes a very pro-person and pro-worker stance on things, a stance founded on an absolute mountain of research and solid historical storytelling, while all the while holding accountable all the ways in which corporations and governments have failed the people who are fighting like hell to uphold them. Touching on taxes, infrastructure, healthcare, and every other "week" you're sick of hearing about on Morning Edition, the book conveys the frustration so many people across the US - and indeed, the world - feel, all the time being very thorough and well-researched about it.

I laughed. I cried. I wanted to forfeit my United States citizenship and move to, I dunno, Denmark or something.
