"Snafu" Perspectives on the 'Accelerated Age'
What's "Snafu"? The word means—"a situation marked by errors or confusion." It comes from the World War II acronym: "Situation normal; all fucked up."
In short perspective sketches of six social systems—politics, money, taxes, work, markets and law—"Snafu" explores what happened to those systems during the "Accelerated Age"—a period of two-hundred years that started in the late 1700s with the Industrial Revolution and the American Revolution, and ended in the 1970s.
