DESCRIPTION:American mass shooters. Islamic terrorists. Vengeful nationalis
 ts. Racist presidents. Social media misogynists. In today&amp;rsquo\;s world\,
  paranoid hatred&amp;mdash\;and the wrath of the people who spread it&amp;mdash\;i
 s inescapable. Where does all the rage come from?\n\nJoin Zocalo and JANM 
 at the Tateuchi Democracy Forum for a discussion with Panjak Mishra\, auth
 or of&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;Age of Anger: A History of the Present&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp\;for a di
 scussion moderated by Gregory Rodriguez\, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Z
 &amp;oacute\;calo Public Square. Mishra locates the answer\, paradoxically\, i
 n modernity&amp;rsquo\;s successes.\n\nAs the world has become more closely li
 nked via mass politics and technology and the pursuit of wealth\, those un
 able to enjoy the fruits of progress have been cast adrift\, uprooted from
  older traditions. Many have responded by lashing out at elites\, by inven
 ting enemies\, attempting to recreate an imaginary golden age\, and seekin
 g self-empowerment through apocalyptic rhetoric and spectacular violence. 
 What is the attraction of cultural supremacism and rancorous brutality in 
 this age? What does the history of previous transitions in global politics
  and technology tell us about how to manage the backlash? And what does th
 is moment require&amp;mdash\;in terms of new thinking&amp;mdash\;if humanity is to
  survive its own anger? Mishra visits Z&amp;oacute\;calo to explore the parado
 xical perils of freedom\, stability\, and prosperity.\n\n&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;
