Richard Hanania has emerged as one of the most talked-about writers in the nation, and in this book, he puts forward a stunning new theory about the culture war that could turn our debates upside down.

Richard Hanania has come out of nowhere to become one of the best-known writers in the nation in the last few years. In this book, he directs his attention to the culture war that has driven society apart and presents a stunning new theory about what is going on.

In a nation nearly-evenly split between conservatives and liberals, the left dominates nearly all major institutions, including universities, the government, and corporate America. Hanania argues that this is as much a legal requirement as it is an issue of one side triumphing in the marketplace of ideas. Culture has its own independent force, but the state has, since the 1960s, been putting its thumb on the scale.

This book answers many of the puzzling questions about modern society, such as:

- Why does more and more of life seem like a competition to see who is the most oppressed?

- Who is really behind the sudden proliferation of woke ideas?

- How did ideas that seem so intellectually bankrupt achieve hegemony over elite culture?

- Which laws and regulations have helped the left rise to power everywhere?

- How did workplaces come to be the main enforcers of political ideology?

- When and how did Pakistanis, Samoans, and Koreans all become the same "race" (AAPI)?

- Why did America become so obsessed with inequalities based on race but not religion?

For those angry about wokeness and what it has done to American institutions, this book offers concrete suggestions regarding policies that can move us back to being a country that emphasizes merit, individual liberty, and color-blind governance.

Nice hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Ash
Very happy with this hoodie. It's exactly what I wanted - something very lightweight that I can just throw on and wear around the house (we keep the temp at 68 in the winter). It appears to be of decent quality and the price was right. I wear a large. That's what I ordered and the fit is perfect.

Hanes Pullover Hoodie (Red)
Size: Large, Color: Deep Red
​Pros: ​The red color is vibrant and looks great out of the box. ​Initial fit is decent. ​Cons: ​Excessive Shedding: The "fuzz" and inner lining fibers get absolutely everywhere. It sticks to your undershirt, your hair, and even the furniture. It’s a constant annoyance that doesn't seem to stop even after the first wear. ​Color Bleeding: The dye runs significantly. If you aren't extremely careful in the wash, it will ruin anything lighter than it, and you'll notice the vibrancy of the red fading faster than expected. ​Low Durability: Between the shedding and the dye issues, the quality just isn't there for long-term use. ​Final Verdict: I’d give this a 3/5 at best. While it’s an affordable basic, the mess it leaves behind and the hassle of the dye running make it more of a headache than it’s worth. I’d recommend looking for something with a higher-quality fleece lining that won't leave you covered in red lint.

Comfortable!
Size: 12.5 Big Kid, Color: Purple/Turq
My daughter loves these. She’s5. We got the size 12.5 and they fit her well.. a little space between her toes and the tip of the shoe but just the right amount. She says they are comfortable and good for her PE class and playing outside. We got the blue and then I ordered the black cause she loved them so much. They were on a great sale too!
