Last Best Hope

Through a critical examination of America's history and modern social landscape, acclaimed author George Packer exposes the fractures and injustices that have led to the nation's current sense of despair. While democracy appears to be at a tipping point, Last Best Hope offers a thoughtful dissection of the narratives that have shaped America, including the individualistic Free America, the elitist Smart America, the nationalistic Real America, and the oppressed Just America. Against the backdrop of the tumultuous events of 2020, Packer presents a compelling argument for a common American identity centered on the pursuit of equality. As we face challenges and crises, Packer urges us to reinvigorate our belief in self-government and work towards a more just and equal future. This astute analysis is essential reading for those seeking to understand the path towards national renewal.
