From bestselling author and NYU business school professor Scott Galloway comes an urgent
examination of the future of our nation – and how we got here. We are only just beginning to
reckon with our post-pandemic future. As political extremism intensifies the great resignation
affects businesses everywhere and supply chain issues crush bottom lines we’re faced with
daunting questions – is our democracy under threat? How will Big Tech change our lives? What
does job security look like for me? America is on the brink of massive change – change that
will disrupt the workings of our economy and drastically impact the financial backbone of our
nation: the middle class. In Adrift Galloway looks to the past – from 1945 to present day – to
explain just how America arrived at this precipice. Telling the story of our nation through 100
charts Galloway demonstrates how crises such as Jim Crow World War II and the Stock Market
Crash of 2008 as well as the escalating power of technology an entrenched white patriarchy
and the socio-economic effects of the pandemic created today’s perfect storm. Adrift attempts
to make sense of it all and offers Galloway’s unique take on where we’re headed and who we’ll
become touching on topics as wide-ranging as online dating to minimum wage to the American
dream. Just as in 1945 and 1980 America is once again a nation at a crossroads. This time
what will it take for our nation to keep up with the fast and violent changes to our new world?
