Now, in the "Index," we learn that two entries have by far the most sub-entries: (1) Supreme Court of the United States has 15 sub-entries (p. 340), and (2) Vietnam War has 9 sub-entries (p. 341).
However, there is no entry in the "Index" for the term social justice. In my estimate, social justice is a rubric that includes the black civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and subsequent decades.
Even though the term social justice emerged as a popular term in American culture in recent decades, the Roman Catholic Church has a tradition of social teaching that goes back a century. The aim of Catholic social teaching is to bring about social justice.
For discussion of Catholic social teaching, see the lay English theologian Anna Rowlands' book Towards a Politics of Communion: Catholic Social Teaching in Dark Times (T & T Clark, 2021). (She does not explain what all she has in mind by Dark Times in the subtitle.)
As you may know, the Roman Catholic Church has a centuries-old tradition of individual personal moral teachings. I first articulated my sweeping criticism of the Roman Catholic Church's moral vision of individual personal development in my OEN article "Robert Moore on Optimal Human Psychological Development" (dated September 17, 2024; viewed 1,703 times as of March 29, 2026).
My sweeping criticism of the Roman Catholic Church's moral vision of individual personal development is based on my claim that it is a manifestation of what Robert Moore refers to as The Impotent Lover "shadow" forms of the masculine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche and the feminine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche.
Several months later, I first articulated my sweeping criticism of the anti-body heritage of Christianity is my wide-ranging and deeply personal 18,800-word OEN article "Fareed Zakaria and Ezra Klein on President Trump's Foreign Policy" (dated March 24, 2025; viewed 2,230 times as of April 2, 2026).
Now, as I have argued in various OEN articles, I see body-positivity and sex-positivity as necessary for all Americans to develop to counter the anti-body heritage of Christianity in their psyches, because the anti-body heritage of Christianity has permeated American culture for centuries.
Now, back to Caldwell's 2020 book The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties.
The focus of Caldwell's 2020 book is on the theme of the so-called Age of Entitlement as an age focused on and emphasizing individual personal development - and in my OEN article "Robert Moore on Individual Personal Human Development" (dated September 17, 2024) is compatible with Caldwell's focus.
Now, over the years, I have written about legalized abortion in various OEN articles. However, apart from legalized abortion, I have not written about all the other Supreme court decisions that Caldwell writes about.
Now, we also learn from the "Index" that Caldwell discusses every presidential election from 1960 to 2016 (pp. 337-338).
Curiously enough, however, Caldwell does not mention that Hillary Rodham Clinton was the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in 2016 - he does not mention her at all, not even in connection with his discussions of feminism and women's rights. When we turn our attention to the Republican Party's presidential candidate in 2016, we find that Caldwell alludes to Donald Trump on two pages (pp. 127 and 279), but he does not mention him by name. Because I mentioned misogyny above in connection with Trump and his MAGA supporters, I should point out here that Caldwell does not mention misogyny, but he does discuss both feminism and women's rights extensively - good for him.
In addition, we learn from the "Index" that Caldwell does not devote an "Index" entry to it, even though he occasionally uses the term - see, for example, his subheading "Origins of affirmative action and political correctness" (p. 29). In the 2016 presidential election, Trump frequently invoked the term because Hillary Rodham Clinton represented the spirit of political correctness. (The "Index" does contain an entry on affirmative action [p. 327].)
Now, the Simon & Schuster Paperback edition of Caldwell's book The Age of Entitlement features three pages of excerpts from reviews of the hardcover edition in the front matter, three of which strike me as worth quoting here:
Writing in New York magazine, Andrew Sullivan said, "A deeper, wider cultural and constitutional narrative of the last half century. . . . Caldwell's account is indispensable - especially for liberals - in understanding how resentments grew. . . . Nuanced and expansive."
