American history must be viewed in cycles—particularly, an eighty-year "institutional cycle" that has defined us (there are three such examples—the Revolutionary War/founding, the Civil War, and World War II), and a fifty-year "socio-economic cycle" that has seen the...

It gave rise to a dream: that if you worked hard and followed the rules you would prosper in America, and your children would enjoy...
