The State Knows Best: How Corruption Destroyed Our Law Enforcement and Left Americans Defenseless by Connor Vasile (1 Review)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

America is falling. Thanks to bureaucratic incompetence and spineless politicians who bend to social justice bullies, Americans are left with a government that doesn't care about them, their safety, or their future. To add insult to injury, the same people who couldn't be bothered to increase patrols in our neighborhoods, crack down on rising violent crime, and actually keep criminals locked behind bars, are fighting to take away our right to self-defense. Left without any means to protect ourselves, America will start to look like a third-world country. From the Summer of Love riots in 2020 to continuing efforts at lowering already mediocre police training requirements, we've seen our public officials concern themselves more with optics than with the people's safety. While activists and politicians capitalize on select instances of police brutality and call for the defunding and abolishment of police as a whole, Americans are made victims by career criminals who are practically ignored by our "equitable" legal system. As the political elite pat each other on the back while making a mockery of law and order, innocent bystanders, and even children, are robbed and killed at the hands of violent criminals every single day. We're reaching a tipping point. Something has to change. The future of America depends on it.

Tradition and Innovation: Reflections on Politics by Tuck Newport (3 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

Individual members of life forms as diverse as dogs, fish and bacteria all display distinctive individual behavior patterns (i.e., "personalities"). These have evolved to maximize the odds that some members of a species will survive regardless of what happens around them. Behavior conducive to survival and reproduction in one situation often fails in another. Hence the need in every population group for a wide spectrum of behavior patterns. These variations recur, embodied in different individuals, generation after generation. The same evolutionary imperative produces the human behavioral diversity that maximizes our odds of survival as a species. Understanding political behavior, as distinct from engaging in partisanship, requires viewing politics with an eye not only for conflicting interests but also for conflicting values that are rooted in different human personality types. "Tradition and Innovation" examines the persistent conflicts generated by natural human variation and considers their role in our cultural evolution from pre-history to the present.

The author was born because of his parents having been alive and gotten married. Of course, this is the case for most Japanese people today; in the case of the author, however, whose Mother experienced the A-bomb in Nagasaki and Father participated in a Kamikaze Attack on a Navy bomber, a stroke of fortunate chance, as ultimately the chances of both his parents surviving such circumstances was very small. There was so much luck and such a strong eagerness to live that made them survive; consequently, the author and his brother were born. In the early 1960s, the 7-year-old author went to Singapore together with his family and heard about what the Japanese army had done in Singapore. The Overseas Chinese people and English people in Singapore harbored a strong hatred towards the Japanese at that time. The author thought that, after the war, Japan had become a good country and was trying to rebuild the economy that had been destroyed by the war. He was happy to live together with his parents, who were themselves trying to help the Japanese economy recover, even if it might have meant some hardships for him. Later, when the author returned to Japan, he was rather disappointed that his love towards Japan did not help him readapt easily. Years later, when the author had grown up and worked for four years, he had a chance to go to the United States and rediscovered the big, diverse world he had experienced during childhood.

Surrender: How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution by Michael Allen Meeropol (6 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the "Reagan Revolution" and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements. Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity. This caused, first, the electoral repudiation of President Bush in 1992, followed by a repudiation of President Clinton in the 1994 Congressional elections. The Clinton administration made a half-hearted attempt to reverse the Reagan Revolution in economic policy, but ultimately surrendered to the Republican Congressional majority in 1996 when Clinton promised to balance the budget by 2000 and signed the welfare reform bill. The rapid growth of the economy in 1997 caused surprisingly high government revenues, a dramatic fall in the federal budget deficit, and a brief euphoria evident in an almost uncontrollable stock market boom. Finally, Meeropol argues powerfully that the next recession, certain to come before the end of 1999, will turn the predicted path to budget balance and millennial prosperity into a painful joke on the hubris of public policymakers. Accessibly written as a work of recent history and public policy as much as economics, this book is intended for all Americans interested in issues of economic ...
