Summary |
Communism is dead. No enemy on the planet is capable of challenging the United States militarily, culturally, or politically. Global capitalism and liberal democracy are sweeping the globe. America is the most powerful, influential and prosperous nation not only in our time, but in history. We have inherited wealth and power beyond the wildest dreams of our forebears. So far, our response has been the political version of a nervous breakdown. Americans are as smart, responsible and good as they have ever been, yet our politics is careening out of control. The politics of crazy is an effort to explain the forces that have undermined responsible, responsive politics and point the way toward a more solid future. |
