The Fourth Great Awakening and the Future of Egalitarianism Hardcover - 2000

by Robert William Fogel

In his most ambitious book since "Time on the Cross, " the Nobel Prize-winning economist looks to the nation's past to discover the strong link between technologically induced cycles of religiousness--or "awakenings"--in American history and attitudes toward poverty, education, and social equality. Line drawings. Tables.


First line

Americans are more deeply divided and angry with each other today than at any time since the 1850s.

From the rear cover

Robert William Fogel was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1993. To take a trip around the mind of Robert Fogel, one of the grand old men of American economic history, is a rare treat. At every turning, you come upon some shiny pearl of information.--The Economist In this broad-thinking and profound piece of history, Robert William Fogel synthesizes an amazing range of data into a bold and intriguing view of America's past and future--one in which the periodic Great Awakenings of religion bring about waves of social reform, the material lives of even the poorest Americans improve steadily, and the nation now stands poised for a renewed burst of egalitarian progress.
