DESCRIPTION:American mass shooters. Islamic terrorists. Vengeful nationalis
 ts. Racist presidents. Social media misogynists. In today’s world\, para
 noid hatred—and the wrath of the people who spread it—is inescapable. 
 Where does all the rage come from?\n\nJoin Zocalo and JANM at the Tateuchi
  Democracy Forum for a discussion with Panjak Mishra\, author of &lt;em&gt;Age 
 of Anger: A History of the Present&lt;/em&gt; for a discussion moderated by Gre
 gory Rodriguez\, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Zócalo Public Square. Mis
 hra locates the answer\, paradoxically\, in modernity’s successes.\n\nAs
  the world has become more closely linked via mass politics and technology
  and the pursuit of wealth\, those unable to enjoy the fruits of progress 
 have been cast adrift\, uprooted from older traditions. Many have responde
 d by lashing out at elites\, by inventing enemies\, attempting to recreate
  an imaginary golden age\, and seeking self-empowerment through apocalypti
 c rhetoric and spectacular violence. What is the attraction of cultural su
 premacism and rancorous brutality in this age? What does the history of pr
 evious transitions in global politics and technology tell us about how to 
 manage the backlash? And what does this moment require—in terms of new t
 hinking—if humanity is to survive its own anger? Mishra visits Zócalo t
 o explore the paradoxical perils of freedom\, stability\, and prosperity.\
