NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - When did America give up on fairness? The author of Fantasyland tells the epic history of how America decided that big business gets whatever it wants, only the rich get richer, and nothing should ever change--and charts a way back to the future.
"The one book everyone must read as we figure out how to rebuild our country."--Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci
During the twentieth century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled. The clock was turned back on a century of economic progress, making greed good, workers powerless, and the market all-powerful while weaponizing nostalgia, lifting up an oligarchy that served only its own interests, and leaving the huge majority of Americans with dwindling economic prospects and hope.
Why and how did America take such a wrong turn? In this deeply researched and brilliantly woven cultural, economic, and political chronicle, Kurt Andersen offers a fresh, provocative, and eye-opening history of America's undoing, naming names, showing receipts, and unsparingly assigning blame--to the radical right in economics and the law, the high priests of high finance, a complacent and complicit Establishment, and liberal "useful idiots," among whom he includes himself.
Only a writer with Andersen's crackling energy, deep insight, and ability to connect disparate dots and see complex systems with clarity could make such a book both intellectually formidable and vastly entertaining. And only a writer of Andersen's vision could reckon with our current high-stakes inflection point, and show the way out of this man-made disaster.

Lightweight and Easy-to-Assemble
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
These privacy screens are three separate panels, which is really convenient if you don’t need to use all of them at once. I’m currently using two to section off part of my craft room for storage, and it’s working perfectly.
They’re lightweight and super easy to move around, so I can rearrange my space whenever I need to. Assembly was simple—everything went together quickly without any hassle.

Great for Privacy, Just a Little Flimsy
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently got this room divider to create a bit more privacy in my home office, and it's been really handy. The thick polyester fabric helps block out distractions, and it's great that it's waterproof, so no worries about spills messing it up. The metal feet keep it stable enough, though I've noticed it can feel a bit wobbly if bumped. It's also super easy to fold and store when not in use, which is a huge plus if you have limited space like I do. Overall, it’s a practical addition, though handling it gently might be a good idea.

Perfect for Creating Private Spaces Without the Hassle
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently picked up this Kecreque 3-panel room divider because we needed a flexible way to break up space in our garage. I wanted a place to hook up a small tv and play my SuperNES — and honestly, it’s been a fantastic purchase!
First off, it’s bigger than it looks in pictures — fully opened, it stretches over 8 feet wide and stands about 6 feet tall. The panels are made of a thick, waterproof polyester fabric that feels much sturdier than I expected for the price. Plus, the steel frame is scratch- and rust-resistant, and the curved feet make it really stable. (No wobbling or tipping, even when our cats decide to race past it at full speed.)
Assembly was straightforward — my husband did it himself in under 30 minutes with just the included instructions. The panels clip into the frame easily, and you can adjust the angle of each section depending on how much space you want to close off. It’s also surprisingly easy to move and fold up if you need to put it away; I just fold it flat and tuck it into a corner when it’s not in use.
I really appreciate how low maintenance it is too — a quick wipe with a damp cloth has kept it clean. It’s been great for creating a semi-private video game nook, but I can also see it being perfect for an office, a church event, or even a kids’ room (the ad says it can “calm down arguments,” and honestly, I can believe it).
Final thoughts: This is a sturdy, well-made, and versatile divider that’s easy to set up, reposition, and store. It looks clean and simple in any area or room and has held up well to daily use. Highly recommend if you need a practical and stylish way to create private spaces without committing to permanent walls!

Quality, and not overly complicated
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
This is so easy to put together, the parts are numbered, and the wordless instructions are clearer than some I've seen. The material/fabric is pleasant to the touch, and of decent quality. I like that the panels can be used independently of each other, or connected together, depending on your space.
Also, the cloth velcros onto the frame, so it can be removed easily for cleaning if need be, without unbolting anything.
The combined weight in the box is decent, but once built, each panel is fairly light and easy to move around, while feeling sturdy/not going to fall over unless they're being mistreated.
It's a bright sunny afternoon, and I took a picture looking towards a window, so you can see it blocks most things unless directly silhouetted by the bright light on the other side.

Great purchase, easy to put together and maneuver and does the job
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
Easy enough to put together, the nylon curtaining is a bit thin so will either replace or just pin something decorative and thicker to it. Easy to maneuver and does what you need it to do. Right now its leaned against a set of french doors in my room which unfortunately reflect headlight from the street into the room. This has been very useful for blocking that, Also have used it for the intended purpose of privacy other places also. you can also pin the kids pictures to it to show them off, Think outside the box with this nice screen.
