Political Analysis
http://www.last-lost-empire.com
A magnificent and very readable down to earth portrait of what has happened to the American dream and American society under the impact of the lunge for empire; how this repeats the lamentable rise and decline of previous empires in history. Becker's book shows how difficult it is to salvage our livelihood, let alone save some shred of our democracy -- but his last chapter reveals ground for hope and ideas for resistance and recovery. The website is provocative and a lot of fun.
