Beskrivelse

What did Vladimir Lenin, Osama bin Laden and Al Gore have in common? Answer. All three taught that our way of life in America (and in all the democratic Western world) is decadent and destined to fail. If you don't agree and are interested in a Tea Party alternative, this book is for you. It explains how and why Free-Market Liberal Democracy came to be, and how it can continue to grow and prosper-with the help of a new Tea Party. Read it and celebrate together a new "morning in America." "I take off my hat to the author. A work of genius. Comprehensive, accurate and free of jargon. Exactly what I meant when I wanted a 'defense of democracy.'" Sidney Hook, late Philosophy professor at NYU and leader of international democracy movements in the 20th century, reviewing an earlier version of this book. "This book is unique. After I had read about a quarter of it, I was wondering how many languages it would be translated into. I also was making a mental list of my academic colleagues to whom I would recommend this book as required reading. He covers major parts of recent global history with accuracy, and with incredibly enjoyable and readable flowing prose that weaves in many personal experiences. Bill has travelled the world and makes first-hand observations. Bill has an honest open message that free markets and capitalism benefit mankind, whereas socialism is 'warm and cuddly' but ultimately fails. Bill is very scientific and analytical. He defines the terms 'noosphere' and 'meme' in a subtle way. I will use many of his ideas for my work with global environmental issues." Dr. Stefan Gorzula, ecologist and environmental scientist with over 30 years experience in international projects to save endangered species and manage wildlife reserves. "When it comes to Bill Stonebarger, there is gold in gray. His writings, which range across a wide spectrum of subjects pertinent to our times, are based on a lifetime's close observation and considered reflection. There is plenty of wisdom between these covers. Do yourself a favor and listen. You might just see our world quite differently." Kerry Swift, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. "Essential reading in the UK who is interested in life in the USA. A well respected and highly literate 'Letter from America.'" Piers McBride, UK journalist.
