The Gilded Age — Corruption, Credit, and False Progress (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores The Gilded Age by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner as a systems-level analysis of speculation, political corruption, and hollow prosperity.
By tracing how ambition and optimism are absorbed into corrupt structures, the book explains why collapse is not a surprise but an outcome.
