Age of Anger: A History of the Present by Pankaj Mishra

4.0

1. Puts the chaotic, anti-technocratic, anti-elite, seemingly exhausted modern world in historical perspective.
2. Seemingly doesn't offer any way out, except by inference: the last time this happened, in the mid- to late-19th century, it only ended with World War I, sooooo …
3. Annoyingly over-written.
4. Makes me want to go back and read Rousseau, Nietzsche, etc.
