Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, wealth, even our definitions of
success are periodically renegotiated based on the new values society
chooses to use as a lens to judge what is acceptable.
Are these new values randomly chosen or is there a pattern?
Pendulumchronicles the stuttering history of western society;
that endless back-and-forth swing between one excess and another,
always reminded of what we left behind.
There is a pattern and it is 40 years: 2003 was a fulcrum year, as was 1963, its opposite.
Pendulumexplains where we have been as a society, how we got here, and where we are
headed. If you would benefit from a peek into the future, you would do well to read this book.
“Pendulumoffers fascinating insights into the surprises and
revelations of shifting social trends throughout history. Roy H.
Williams and Michael Drew answer the age-old question: What makes us
tick?”
