Vacation reading: When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s by John Ganz.

“With the Soviet Union extinct, Saddam Hussein defeated, and U.S. power at its zenith, the early 1990s promised a ‘kinder, gentler America.’ Instead, it was a period of rising anger and domestic turmoil, anticipating the polarization and resurgent extremism we know today.”

Thomas Zimmer: “It deserves all the attention it is getting… With this book, Ganz delivers the most illuminating pre-history of Trump’s rise, one that propels our understanding of what Trumpism is, where it comes from, and why it appeals to so many people forward in crucial ways.”
