Is The United States Worth Saving?

The book's premise spells out the dangers which our republic has encountered and how the 21st century presents new hurdles to surmount and reclaim our democracy. The author focuses on conditions which have eroded representative government and offers proposals to cement public control over government. Among the problems there has been a slow, insidious alteration in methods for the selection of representatives which are encapsulated in the words "gerrymandered electoral districts" and "representatives for sale". The books stresses the diffi culty for people to realize how vastly different the 21st century is when compared the lives of our great grandfathers. The growth of multinational corporations and the rise of "State Capitalism" has altered free competitive enterprise which faces daunting challenges for survival. The growth of our nation and the free movement of people have resulted in nearly one in three Americans living in four states but our representative system is still tied to 1789. Significant suggestions are also proffered to protect the independence of our judiciary.
