Download Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future AudioBook Free
Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, prosperity, even our meanings of success are occasionally renegotiated based on the new ideals society selects to use as a lens to judge what's acceptable. Are these new ideals arbitrarily chosen or will there be a routine? Pendulum chronicles the stuttering history of western society; that endless back-and-forth golf swing between one excess and another, always reminded of that which we left behind. There is a pattern and it is forty years: 2003 was a fulcrum year, as was 1963, its opposing. Pendulum points out where we've been as a society, how we acquired here, and where we have been headed. If you would reap the benefits of a peek in to the future, you would do well to hear this book.
