The Most Dramatic Narrative Shift in Modern History
It’s quite possible that we are at an inflection point in history. This article by Jeffrey Tucker, The Most Dramatic Narrative Shift in Modern History, was published Feb 8th by the Brownstone Institute. With an economy of words and very clear insight, Jeffery Tucker explains how what he calls a "narrative shift" has occurred.
It's powerful.
It particularly resonates with me because the subject of people all over the world losing faith/belief/confidence in the effectiveness/benevolence/legitimacy of their own governments and institutions is a central element of my forthcoming novel, A Penny for Newton. Unlike the COVID fiasco we've all just lived through (and continue to suffer from the effects of), in my novel the disaster is orders of magnitude worse and lasts for decades, which brings virtually everyone to the conclusion that they were lied to by whatever nation state they loved and patriotically supported all their lives.
I hope you have time to read his article.
