Many of the key issues facing the United States at the dawn of the twenty-first century were already taking shape at the beginning of the twentieth century. One hundred years ago, the United States grappled for the first time with a series of new challenges - business mergers, military intervention abroad, trade disputes, racial tensions and violence, rising income gaps between rich and poor, volatile stock market prices, homelessness, concerns over immigration, the influence of money in elections, the impact of new technology on everyday life, and changing morals and values - that Americans are still, in one form or another, confronting today. In this highly entertaining and informative book, Kent provides a portrait of the pivotal year of 1990 and shows how the issues of that time remain relevant a century later.
