Riassunto

A cautionary assessment of how the author believes America is straying from its democratic ideals and faltering in a rapidly globalized world community challenges policies that are based on a priority of making America "number one" in the world while examining the economic and political forces that have brought about contemporary problems. 40,000 first printing.

Recensione

“Greider's moment...may have arrived. Given the current, gloomy circumstances, all neatly summarized here, it's more difficult than ever to argue with his analysis, and he's surely correct that 'in crisis lies opportunity'...With the times propitious and unprecedented organizing tools (the Internet, especially) readily available, the people may finally be sufficiently aroused--in the manner of the late 19th-century Populists and the early New Dealers--to demand accountability from a system that has failed them. If they do, historians may point to this book as one of the prairie fire's first sparks. Astute, hopeful and humane commentary.” —Kirkus Reviews
