Product Description
Waiting for the Barbarians
- Critique of American Elite's Complacency: A sharp and biting commentary on the carelessness of the wealthy ruling class in America
- Lapham's Portrait of American Establishment: With piercing wit, Lewis Lapham, Harper's editor, paints a picture of a bloated and soft American establishment
- Historical Warning for Indolent Rulers: Lapham's commentary ends with a cautionary look at the downfall of careless ruling classes throughout history
With invective all the more deadly for its grace and wit, Lewis Lapham, editor of Harper€s magazine, presents a portrait of a feckless American establishment gone large in the stomach and soft in the head. This acerbic commentary on the insouciance of the monied ruling class concludes with a forewarning piece where Lapham looks at the fate of indolent ruling classes throughout history.
