--Walter Scheidel (Stanford University), author of The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century. . Peter Turchin's Ages of Discord provides a crucial decoder ring for Trump-era social strife --Paul Rosenberg, SalonIn this penetrating analysis, Peter Turchin fuses a wealth of empirical data with an original theoretical framework to demonstrate a disturbing pattern: that throughout American history, periods of lowered inequality and strengthened political and societal cohesion have alternated with those darkened by growing gaps between the haves and the have-nots and a violent fraying of the social fabric

A Solidly Researched Warning to US Elites Dick_Burkhart With this book Peter Turchin has solidified his reputation has one of our foremost interdisciplinary scholars and public intellectuals. The implications of his latest analysis are dire indeed, as they show that the United States is currently undergoing a state of political stress not unlike the US just before the Civil War or France just before the French Revolution. You. kamknauss said My age of discord. I haven't read it either but I will and will revise my review after the fact. My five star is to counter the bulls*** two star review of someone who hasn't read it yet. I feel a little discord myself, in that I hate when people do that, so it's relevant. Skip the reviewing and write your own damned book.
The book takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through American history, from the Era of Good Feelings of the 1820s to our first Age of Discord, which culminated in the American Civil War, to post-WW2 prosperity and, finally, to our present, second Age of Discord.. Modern Americans may be disconcerted to learn that the US right now has much in common with the Antebellum 1850s and, more surprisingly, with ancien régime France on the eve of the French Revolution. Historical analysis shows that long spells of equitable prosperity and internal peace are succeeded by protracted periods of inequity, increasing misery, and political instability.T
