99% Perspiration: A New Working History of the American Way of Life by Adam Chandler
informative
5.0
Meticulously researched, fabulously delivered. Chandler’s humor helps to make the dark elements palatable. I had trouble putting this one down.
“Our moment demands a new patriotism; an ideal strong enough to hold the truth that no singular American success has happened without help and sweat from the greater whole; and that for each high-water triumph of collective sacrifice like June 6, there has also been a rock-bottom calamity of collective dysfunction like January 6.
Finally, we hav to invert the civic disparity that pushes us to ask too much of each other as individuals and too little of each other as citizens.”
