An optimist with facts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Ben Wattenberg is one of the most original and interesting social thinkers in America. In this work he takes a look at a whole list of claims being made against the United States which argue for its decline, and provides persuasive arguments against them. He also tells us much good news about America which as he understands it is continuing to prosper, continuing to provide more freedom for more people than any country in history. This book in its time was a refreshing antidote to the claims that Japan and Germany were about to overtake the US economically. Wattenberg's faith in America has certainly been borne out in the years since the book was published as it now stands as the sole superpower in the world, the leader politically, militarily , economically and culturally. There are of course caveats and I believe Wattenberg does not really take into deep enough account the dark sides of the American reality.
