Argue with charts, not prose
Galloway compresses America's economic and social trajectory into 100 annotated charts, each carrying a single point. The format makes the country's condition legible through visual evidence rather than narrative.
Adrift: America in 100 Charts
3 ideas
The generational wealth transfer reversed
A central thread is that younger Americans now own less and owe more than prior generations at the same age. The charts document a downward mobility that breaks the postwar promise.
Concentration of prosperity at the top
The data show gains from productivity and markets accruing to a shrinking elite while the middle stalls. Galloway reads widening inequality as the through-line of America's drift.
