This is 1990s history as you’ve NEVER seen it. Let’s delve into the first four years of the Clinton presidency by discussing his electoral wins, policies, early patterns of scandal, and the economy. While doing so, we get a better picture of American workers, class, culture, and society at the end of the Cold War and the supposed “end of history”.
