Book excerpt: Praise for Wayne Karol's The Sixties as Science Fiction: An Appreciation of Paul Kantner: "Easily the best thing I've ever seen written on him and his music and 'what it all means'." -Jeff Tamarkin, author of Got A Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane "One of the finest pieces of writing about music and society that it's been my pleasure to read." -Bill Parry, co-editor, Holding Together The Sixties were such a long time ago; why can't America seem to stop re-fighting the battles we fought then? Why are we still so bitterly divided? Why does so much of what's happening now seem like weird repetitions of the past, from the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Watergate to Iraq and Vietnam? In Across the Great Divide, Wayne Karol offers an original and insightful perspective on how we ended up in this mess and what we might be able to do about it. It's his duty as a baby boomer to hope that it will change the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Repair Manual for Uncle Sam and America is written to cut through the infinite mass of psycho-babble that has been thrown at the American people for decades. Thousands of books and articles have been written to analyze our problems, yet with all that verbiage we have not fixed anything. Today we are broke and in debt, we have wasted our wealth on needless wars, our drug problems have not abated, our prisons are overcrowded, illegals mooch off our system, our health care system is broke along with our Social Security, we are in trouble and there is no more American Dream. Our government does not understand globalization and we are loosing jobs because of it. Our politicians are stalemated along party lines and nothing is done to benefit the people. This Repair Manual points out our greatest dangers and offers simple rational, logical solutions to fix the problems. At one time America had a great world image, a great economy, it was a land of opportunity for everyone, where is all that now? Today we must start to fix it, restore it because the road we are on today will lead to anarchy and then to a totalitarian socialist state. Americans must become informed and involved in our political system because without their help our politicians will take us down the same path we are on, leading down

Book Synopsis Breaking Through Power by : Ralph Nader
Download or read book Breaking Through Power written by Ralph Nader and published by City Lights Publishers. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nader’s assessment of how concentrated wealth and power undermine democracy is clear and compelling, but it’s his substantive vision of how we ought to respond that makes Breaking Through Power essential reading. Written just before Donald Trump’s Electoral College victory, Nader’s latest book reads with even greater urgency now."--Yes Magazine In Breaking Through Power, Ralph Nader draws from a lifetime waging--and often winning--David vs. Goliath battles against big corporations and the United States government. In this succinct, Tom Paine-style wake-up call, the iconic consumer advocate highlights the success stories of fellow Americans who organize change and work together to derail the many ways in which wealth manipulates politics, labor, media, the environment, and the quality of national life today. Nader makes an inspired case about how the nation can--and must--be democratically managed by communities guided by the United States Constitution, not by the dictates of big businesses and the wealthy few. This is classic Ralph Nader, a crystallization of the core political beliefs and commitments that have driven his lifetime of advocacy for greater democracy. "Ralph Nader is the grand progressive of our time. We overlook his words at our own peril! This book is required reading."--Cornel West "Ralph Nader's Breaking Through Power is a brilliant analysis of corporate power and the popular mechanisms that can be used to wrest back our democracy. No one has been fighting corporate domination longer, or understands it better, than Nader, who will go down in history not only as a prophet but an example of what it means to live the moral life. We disregard his wisdom and his courage at our peril."--Chris Hedges, Pulitzer-Prize winner and author of Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt "Nader goes beyond delineating the problem and provides a critical prescription to battle the toxicity of unjust power--one that every individual can, and must, embrace."--Nomi Prins, author, All the Presidents' Bankers "People are recognizing that our founding, fundamental values of fairness, justice, and opportunity for all--the very values that define our America--are being shoved aside to create an un-America of plutocracy and autocracy. Ralph Nader's new book Breaking Through Power provides progressive boat-rockers with inspiration and a plan for reclaiming America from the greedy Plutocrats and Fat Cats who think democracy is for sale to the highest bidder."--Jim Hightower "I read Ralph Nader for the same reasons that I read Tom Paine. He knows what he thinks, says what he means, and his courage is a lesson for us all."--Lewis Lapham "Nader insists on speaking up for the little people and backs his arguments and decent sentiments with hard facts."--Publishers Weekly About Ralph Nader: Named by The Atlantic as one of the hundred most influential figures in American history, and by Time and Life magazines as one of the most influential Americans of the twentieth century, Ralph Nader has helped us drive safer cars, eat healthier food, breathe better air, drink cleaner water, and work in safer environments for more than four decades. Nader's recent books include Animal Envy, Unstoppable, The Good Fight, and the bestseller, Seventeen Traditions. Nader writes a syndicated column, has his own radio show, and gives lectures and interviews year round.

Book excerpt: National drug chains squeeze local pharmacies out of business, while corporate downsizing ships jobs overseas. All across America, communities large and small are losing control of their economies to outside interests. Going Local shows how some cities and towns are fighting back. Refusing to be overcome by Wal-Marts and layoffs, they are taking over abandoned factories, switching to local produce and manufactured goods, and pushing banks to loan money to local citizens. Shuman details how dozens of communities are recapturing their own economies with these new strategies, investing not in outsiders but in locally owned businesses.
