Out now: the August edition of The Spectator World
Hell hath no fury like the average American. As temperatures, tempers and crime stats rise, our August 2021 edition asks if Americans are angrier than they’ve ever been. Peter Wood examines the evolution of the right’s anger through the astute lyrics of country singer Toby Keith, from post-9/11 fury to the present despondency. Sohrab Ahmari considers the crime surge in American cities, which he claims is a consequence of anti-anti-crime policies pushed by progressives. Mary Eberstadt credits climbing crime rates to the floundering influence of fathers in American households.
