Description

Applies AQAL's developmental-stage model to contemporary American politics and the 2016 election, reading the Trump phenomenon and "post-truth" discourse through the lens of stage regression/reaction.

Later edition

Retitled A Post-Truth World for the 2024 second edition. The extent of revision remains unverified; these are related editions, not two independently conceived books.
