Overview

'This is a book full of brilliant ideas for change that could form the basis of addressing some of the big challenges for the United States in this turbulent century: the political, socio-economic, and judicial divisions in the nation in particular. It offers detailed ideas which are practical and thought-provoking. Highly recommended for every citizen who cares about the trajectory of America!' Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret) is the 14th Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Rockefeller Foundation; he retired as a 4-Star Admiral

American Democracy is at a Turning Point. Most of the American people believe our government is on the wrong track, is broken, and is not capable of solving our major problems. Our national leaders have for too long made the rules for how we are governed for the benefit of their careers and re-election, primarily serving partisan and donor interests instead of serving the country. This book will present fact-based, unbiased and non-partisan actions that "We the People" can take to restore a service-to-country culture in Congress and the Administration.

Editorial Reviews

This is a book full of brilliant ideas for change that could form the basis of addressing some of the big challenges for the United States in this turbulent century: the political, socio-economic, and judicial divisions in the nation in particular. It offers detailed ideas which are practical and thought-provoking. Highly recommended for every citizen who cares about the trajectory of America!

Admiral James Stavridis

The precipitous decline in bi-partisanship and non-partisanship upsets the delicate balance in the U.S. of critical ideas and institutions such as democracy, freedom, capitalism, innovation, and free enterprise; thereby threatening to choke the engine of the entire U.S. GDP. Bob Viney has sounded the right alarms and offered viable solutions based on wisdom free from blind emotionalism.
