Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism.

The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times.

Legendary author and futurist H. G. Wells turns his attention from imaginary worlds to the future of our own. Written in the turbulent years between the two world wars, Wells argues that humanity has become increasingly interconnected while remaining divided by nationalism, economic rivalry, and outdated political institutions. His “open conspiracy” is not a secret plot, but precisely the opposite: a public, voluntary movement of individuals committed to building a more rational, peaceful, and cooperative world.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Although the news cycle might temporarily affect the public's mood on contentious issues like abortion, the death penalty, or gun control, public opinion toward these issues has remained remarkably constant over decades. There are notable exceptions, however, particularly with regard to divisive issues that highlight identity politics. Why have people's minds changed so dramatically on this issue, and why so quickly? Listen, We Need to Talk tests a new theory about how to change people's attitudes on controversial topics.
