In Engineering the Upswing, H. S. Pennypacker and F. I. Perez begin by placing the cultural malaise currently afflicting the United States (U.S.) in the context of longitudinal data showing progressive change over a 60 year period in the U.S. Pennypacker and Perez then use the findings of social scientists to identify some dimensions of current cultural problems and they argue, with examples, for the power of behavioral science to engineer solutions. Their book inspires confidence in the possibility of a better future.
