Thanks to @KirkusReviews for this amazing (starred!) review of my new book, TRIUMPH OF THE YUPPIES: AMERICA, THE EIGHTIES, AND THE CREATION OF AN UNEQUAL NATION. The review calls it "insightful and immensely entertaining." Pre-order : amazon.com/dp/1538725991?… @GrandCentralPub

@uprinting. You have a not crappy product at a not crappy price. But now I can’t get off your mailing list, which I think is a violation of about 67 laws. How many ways can I say unsubscribe?

This by ⁦@tmcgrathphilly⁩ is sensational - The Big Short x Bonfire of the Vanities. Every page demands underlining. Incredibly relevant to today.

@NewYorker has a long, detailed and positive review of TRIUMPH OF THE YUPPIES in its new issue: "An entertaining recap of the period...If you're old enough, you were in [this movie]. It's fun to rewatch it, though." newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Just finished, "Triumph of the Yuppies" by @tmcgrathphilly. Remember this time well growing up in middle school and high school during this time, couldn't afford Polo and saw the impact of recession of 82 and stock collapse of 88. Makes sense now how this generation focused on themselves created some of the mess we have today. Recommend reading.

On today's PREVAIL, I talk to @tmcgrathphilly about what's wrong with the media & how it might be fixed, and his excellent new book, "Triumph of the Yuppies." This is a particularly good episode, if I do say so myself. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tri…

“In its push to revive itself, in its zeal to recapture the dominance and prosperity of the postwar era,” America ended up “elevating self-interest over any sense of the common good,” writes @tmcgrathphilly in “Triumph of the Yuppies.” FP Book Club: thefp.pub/4eCUfmx
