New Options for America: The Second American Experiment has Begun

By Mark Satin

This exciting book opens with the seeds of a hope planted by the 1960s and pragmatically trimmed and cultivated by the 1980s. It then ventures creatively beyond blind economic growth and the "rather scary" long-term consequences of our ever-expanding economic pie. It argues for those "felt responsibilities" possible only in a society that can transcend the limitations of a welfare state. For this emerging society it recommends ways to interact with other nations in today's multipolar world where economic as well as military power is decisive. The final section of the book, "Ideals Are Not Enough," points out those guideposts already in place for the Second American Experiment.
