Underthrow: How Jefferson's Dangerous Idea Will Spark a New Revolution

Power. Corruption. Another cycle of decline. If Thomas Jefferson were alive, he'd say the West is due for a revolution. If we do nothing, much of the world will either join the list of fallen empires or descend into dystopia.The good news is we need not refresh the tree of liberty with bloodshed.In this powerful book, Max Borders rouses us in a call to underthrow-an active mix of nonviolent resistance and innovative reforms, more powerful and more peaceful than rioters or armed revolutionaries. As Borders explains, we have the tools to topple an empire. But first, we must rediscover the wisdom of the American Founders.Despite overwhelming odds, a new breed of anti-authoritarians is finding its footing, standing firm on what Jefferson called "the consent of the governed." If you are disgusted by the world's drift toward central power, you'll find inspiration in this revolutionary book.
