Since 1974, George F. Will has been a steadfast voice of wisdom and reason for the American people. One of this country’s leading columnists and the author of many books, Will has been called “perhaps the most powerful journalist in America” by the Wall Street Journal. His new book is a collection of essays reflecting on American culture and the many attacks on expertise, rationality, and conduct by American institutions, courts, political arenas, and social venues in recent times.

In "American Happiness and Discontents: The Unruly Torrent," George F. Will examines a remarkably unsettling thirteen years in our nation’s history, from 2008 to 2020.
