2019 Ending The Decade That Was!

It was a decade of change, of progress, of loss, of growth. From warming temperatures to rising college costs, these 10 lists help define the 2010s.

Consider just a few signal events from the 2010s: Donald Trump won the presidency. Unemployment fell to 3.5%. Britain decided to leave the European Union. Facebook became more valuable than General Electric, AT&T and Citigroup combined. The U.S. became the world’s No. 1 energy producer. Same-sex marriage became the law of the land. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Big tech became even bigger, and China kept rising—in both cases prompting a backlash. The economy grew, slowly but steadily, but the financial crisis left an imprint on our politics and society. And again: The Chicago Cubs won the World Series.

This look back doesn’t attempt to recap every major event of the 2010s, the aim is to provide some food for thought, a distilled reflection on key trends and moments that defined the decade, and will set the stage for the next one.
