From New York Times Bestselling author Scott Galloway comes an urgent examination of the future of America and the reasons behind its current social and economic crisis
In Adrift, Scott Galloway looks from the past to the present – from 1945 to the 2020s – to reveal how America has reached its current state of political, social and economic crisis. It is on the brink of massive change, change that will disrupt the working of its economy and drastically impact its financial backbone, the middle class.

Telling America’s story through 100 charts, Galloway demonstrates how crises such as Jim Crow, World War II, and the Stock Market Crash of 2008, as well as the escalating power of technology, an entrenched white patriarchy, and the socio-economic effects of the pandemic, created today’s perfect storm.

Adrift seeks to make sense of it all, and offers Galloway’s unique take on where America is headed and what it will become. It’s a vital guide for anyone who wants to understand the state the country is in and how and why its influence on the world has changed.

Bestselling author of The Four and NYU Business School professor delivers an insightful, urgent analysis of who stands to win and who’s at risk to lose in a post-pandemic world.

The Covid-19 outbreak has turned bedrooms into offices, pitted young against old and widened the gaps between rich and poor, red and blue, the mask-wearers and the mask-haters. Some businesses, like Amazon and video conference software maker Zoom, woke up to find themselves crushed under an avalanche of consumer demand. Others, like the restaurant, travel, hospitality and live entertainment industries, scrambled to not become instantly obsolete. But the pandemic has not been a change agent so much as an accelerant of trends that were already well underway.

In Post Corona, Galloway outlines the contours of both crisis and opportunity that lie ahead. While the powerful tech monopolies will thrive in the disruption other businesses, like higher education, will struggle to maintain a value proposition that no longer makes sense when we can’t stand shoulder to shoulder.

Combining his signature humour and brash style with razor-sharp business insights, Galloway offers both warning and hope in equal measure.
