Christopher Caldwell (journalist)
Christopher Caldwell (born 1962) is an American journalist and a former senior editor at neoconservative magazine The Weekly Standard to the Financial Times, and a former contributor of book reviews at Slate.The Economist newspaper called it "an important book as well as a provocative one: the best statement to date of the pessimist's position on Islamic immigration in Europe.[10] In 2020, Caldwell published The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties, in which he argues that the civil rights movement has had significant unintended consequences: "Just half a decade into the civil rights revolution, America had something it had never had at the federal level, something the overwhelming majority of its citizens would never have approved: an explicit system of racial preference.Richard Aldous wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "It's curious that a book subtitled 'America Since the Sixties' doesn't actually have much history in it", going on to say: "The reader turns the page expectantly, waiting to see what Mr. Caldwell has to say about President Trump.... That's a shame, because 'The Age of Entitlement' raises important questions not just about the future of the republic but about Western society more generally.
