When our success threatens our success
Book Review of The Complacent Class: The Self-Defeating Quest for the American Dream (St. Martin's Press 2017).

Writing in 2013, Moisés Naím, formerly executive director of the World Bank and currently at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, decried the increasing impotency of elites to lead in a fractured and fractious global public square. Naím’s concerns were voiced before the most recent surge in populist movements around the world, from Brexit to Trump’s victory in America. As Naím put it, “Insurgents,...
