In Adrift, Galloway looks to the past - from 1945 to present day - to explain how America has arrived at its present precipice with rising costs affecting everyone, the great resignation impacting businesses everywhere and supply chain issues crushing bottom lines. America is on the brink of massive change, change that will disrupt the working of its economy and drastically impact its financial backbone, the middle class.
Telling America's story 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 seeks to make sense of it all, and offers Galloway's unique take on where America is headed and what it will 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. Only this time, it may not be able to keep up with the fast and violent changes to the brave new world it now faces.
