In gathering information for my latest paper, I read the book "The Age of Abundance" by Brink Lindsey. I highly recommend it. The book basically covers societal changes from the 50s to today and traces the roots of the modern world. It's a book about politics and economics, but manages to avoid being dull. It reads much more like a great work of non fiction. It gave me a lot more information than I could possibly work into 1 paper. Particularly interesting is the way that affluent culture in the 50s created the political right and left. Tracing the affects of post-war America from decade to decade is really interesting.
