Did the pandemic signal the end of the American era , The Bottom Line
CanadianAmerican anthropologist Wade Davis holds a mirror up to the United States and sees a society in decline. Davis argues that the US dominated the world in the postWWII era because Americans came out of the war with a sense of common purpose. A vibrant, educated middle class dominated. But now Americas social fabric is damaged, according to Wade. The top 1 percent have greater wealth than the bottom 90 percent and the promise of a decent life for a working family is shattered.
