Best Year Ever is a collection that addresses American exceptionalism and decline; the development of a multipolar geopolitical order; debt, law, and redemption; and the long-term and largely positive (if complex) effects of the events of 2020 and beyond. Equally caustic and humorous, the essays within Best Year Ever look back at the misery of the past before turning toward the brightness of the future.
