"Hayes writes, "In the past decade, nearly every pillar institution in American society - whether it's General Motors, Congress, Wall Street, Major League Baseball, the Catholic Church or the mainstream media - has revealed itself to be corrupt, incompetent or both. And at the root of these failures are the people who run these institutions... In exchange for their power, status and remuneration, they are supposed to make sure everything operates smoothly. But after a cascade of scandals and catastrophes, that implicit social contract lies in ruins, replaced by mass skepticism, contempt and disillusionment. In the wake of the implosion of nearly all sources of American authority, this new decade will have to be about reforming our institutions to reconstitute a more reliable and democratic form of authority."-
