For the first time since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the planet Pluto has made a complete revolution, signaling a culmination (or annihilation) of the American project. Is this the end, or a new beginning? David talks about how the legacies of slavery, colonialism, corporatism, and American exceptionalism will all change under this epochal transit, and traces how Mad Men, American Apparel, Inventing Anna and other key relics of the era play into this moment.
