The best way to view the 2024 presidential election and to understand the dramatic transformation of American political history may not be to focus on the recent debate, the news of the day or even the cascade of books about the composition of the modern Democratic Party or the phenomenon of Donald Trump.

DEAR HARRIETTE: My sister and I co-manage our family business, a local bakery. We’re clashing over its direction: I prefer to maintain our traditional baking techniques and recipes, which have served us well for years. She wants to import and sell modern, trendy breads from other shops to diversify our offerings. In short, she wants to hop on trends like fast fashion clothing. I’m concerned this could dilute our brand, which is known for its traditional, home-cooked breads that our loyal customers love. Our parents already passed away, so the decision comes from the two of us.
