Informative view of organizing US history to show shifts in time but falls into chastising society for drifting away from what he perceives as the correct reasonable centrist policies

I had high hopes to be really inspired by this book but it never quite delivers. There are glimmers of good info and theory, but stuffed in between lots of jargon and excess. I learned a few new things, but ultimately no major aha moment for the way forward.
