Welcome to The Age of Abundance
Reason contributing editor Brink Lindsey is back to blogging--hooked off of his brand-new book The Age of Abundance: How Prosperity Transformed America's Politics and Culture. (The other cover line that helps expand on the book's meaning and message: "How the Culture Wars Made us More Libertarian.")
On the blog you'll read about kitchen debates and supermodels, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Max Weber, Kent State and Karl Marx, all in a fascinating and educated context.
And Reason readers, we'll be running a perspicacious excerpt from Brink's great book in a soon-forthcoming issue.

Thanks Brian.
Neat blog! Thanks!
here is another really cool bit from reason about "Plentitude". (Plenty o Attitude, grin).
From Reason, late summer 1998 - Grant McCracken's
The Politics of Plenitude
The marketplace multiplies cultural identities and creates true diversity. No wonder the right and the left are upset.
