Can the 1980s Explain 2024?
The yuppies embodied the winning side
of America's deepening economic divide.
Bruce Springsteen spoke for those left
behind. Two new books consider what
liberals can learn from the decade.
by Nicholas Lemann
A New Look at the
Feminist Earthquake
Clara Bingham's masterful new book,
The Movement, shows how women's
liberation transformed America and
why our understanding of 1963-1973
needs to include more voices.
by Sara Bhatia
The Origin of Specious
Emerging from a well-funded conservative
academic network, judicial " originalism " -
the faddish theory that the thinking of the
dead can be understood and should bind
the living-is now the Supreme Court's
main tool for overturning precedent and
furthering its anti-democratic goals.
Three new books explain how that
theory can be toppled.
