内容简介:
Wall Street scandals. Fights over taxes. Racial resentments. A
Lakers-Celtics championship. The Karate Kid topping the box-office
charts. Bon Jovi touring the country. These words could describe
our current moment—or the vaunted iconography of three decades
past.
In this wide-ranging and wickedly entertaining book, New York
Times bestselling journalist David Sirota takes readers on a
rollicking DeLorean ride back in time to reveal how so many of our
present-day conflicts are rooted in the larger-than-life pop
culture of the 1980s—from the “Greed is good” ethos of Gordon Gekko
(and Bernie Madoff) to the “Make my day” foreign policy of Ronald
Reagan (and George W. Bush) to the “transcendence” of Cliff
Huxtable (and Barack Obama).
Today’s mindless militarism and hypernarcissism, Sirota argues,
first became the norm when an ’80s generation weaned on Rambo
one-liners and “Just Do It” exhortations embraced a new
religion—with comic books, cartoons, sneaker commercials,
videogames, and even children’s toys serving as the key instruments
of cultural indoctrination. Meanwhile, in productions such as Back
to the Future, Family Ties, and The Big Chill, a campaign was
launched to reimagine the 1950s as America’s lost golden age and
vilify the 1960s as the source of all our troubles. That 1980s
revisionism, Sirota shows, still rages today, with Barack Obama
cast as the 60s hippie being assailed by Alex P. Keaton–esque
Republicans who long for a return to Eisenhower-era
conservatism.
“The past is never dead,” William Faulkner wrote. “It’s not even
past.” The 1980s—even more so. With the native dexterity only a
child of the Atari Age could possess, David Sirota twists and turns
this multicolored Rubik’s Cube of a decade, exposing it as a
warning for our own troubled present—and possible future.
