This audiobook explores the post-World War II era, when a unique balance was struck between capitalism and democratic ideals, supported by key reforms like the New Deal and Bretton Woods. It examines how this "golden era" gradually unraveled from the 1970s onward, leading to increased inequality and political upheaval, including the rise of populism and nationalism. The narrative traces these historical shifts up to the present day, questioning whether democracy can endure amid these turbulent forces.
