What do you think were the main causes of the rise of conservatism in the 1970s and ’80s?
Or, turning to the very recent past, why was a demagogue like Donald Trump elected president? What were the conditions that led millions of Americans to vote for him, and/or how are these conditions related to the “neoliberalism” of the last 40 years?
Why has class inequality increased so much in the last 30 or 40 years? (Even in years of prosperity, like the late 1990s, inequality has continued to rise.)
Anyway, there are plenty of questions in the relevant chapters to choose from. As usual, I encourage you not to rely too much on non-scholarly websites like Wikipedia or History.com or KhanAcademy; if you want to use some secondary sources, it’s best to use scholarly articles (like on JSTOR) or books (in addition to the textbook). And don’t forget to proofread carefully for grammar, punctuation, and argumentative coherence.

if you want, i can guide you a little and give you an idea on what we were studying in class. you can email me at [email protected]…Also it’s very important that the paper has 8 primary sources with an annotated bibliography. as stated in the instructions, they shouldn’t be from non scholarly sources.
