Author Description

This book is a breath of fresh air that sweeps away the unthinkingly accepted nineteenth-century ideas that still dominate political thinking. In a running debate with readers, the real issues concerning government structure, economics, foreign policy, justice, social conditions, education, entertainment, and culture are analyzed through othermindedness, a mentality immune to propaganda, slogans, and knee-jerk reactions. The heroes of this book are the American Constitution and world peacemakers, illustrated by examples from literature. Written in an entertaining style, the topics discussed go to the very heart of American life, inviting the reader to renew the Lincoln-Douglas debates.
