"Roger Terry has written an extremely important book. It is a comprehensive attempt to define America's malaise and, more importantly, to offer a practical road to the future. Terry is talking about all the right things. Neither political party, nor any of the mainstream economists, have probed the economic realm Terry is exploring. He has obviously thought long and deeply about the American condition[long synopsise and bold solutions."

"To describe the thesis of this book as controversial is to dramatically understate the case. It raises fundamental questions about modern society that must be asked. Assumptions we all tend to buy into, and which appeared to work well for us in the past, are now in fundamental conflict with our concepts of a good society."
