BrinkLindsey.com – The Age of Abundance

“Here is one of the freshest and most thought-provoking books on recent American history to appear in years. Lindsey argues that the Culture Wars are fading and he makes his case with learning, style and grace. If you want to understand the tectonic forces that are reshaping American society—and that may produce some startling reconfigurations during the 2008 presidential election—then I cannot think of a better place to start.”

- Adrian Wooldridge, co-author of The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America

“We Americans tend to take our affluence and prosperity for granted. The Age of Abundance shows us how great an achievement our economy is—and how it has reshaped our society and our culture, for better and worse. And [Lindsey] argues that after a long generation of cultural turmoil and conflict, we’re finally learning how to balance liberation and responsibility.”

- Michael Barone, Senior Writer, U.S. News & World Report and co-author, The Almanac of American Politics

“In The Age of Abundance, Brink Lindsey does two remarkable things: He offers a provocative theory to explain why American political debate has become so shrill in recent years, and he provides an admirable—and much needed—model of rational, respectful, readable political argument.”

- Virginia Postrel, Author, The Substance of Style

“In an age of abundance, the libertarian moment may have arrived, trumping the old division between left and right. Liberals have much to gain from a dialogue with libertarians, who now have much more in common with them than with conservatives in the Republican Party.”
