Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History is Kurt Andersen political, economic, and cultural history of the United States from the late 1960s to the early twenty first century. Published in 2020, the book argues that modern inequality and political dysfunction did not simply emerge from impersonal market forces. Andersen presents them as the result of a long campaign by conservative intellectuals, corporate leaders, wealthy donors, lawyers, lobbyists, and political actors to remake American capitalism in favor of owners, executives, and investors. The book combines recent history, policy analysis, cultural criticism, and personal observation. Its purpose is not only to explain the rise of market fundamentalism, deregulation, weakened labor power, and permissive antitrust policy, but also to show how nostalgia helped sell a backward looking politics to a country that once associated itself with broad progress. Andersen writes for general readers who want a connected account of how economic rules, cultural mood, and political power changed together.
