Stolen American Technology

I read the book about 5 years ago and it told how we gave away all our technology to Europe and to Japan. We would educate immigrants from these countries at MIT and CalTech. Then they would go back home and carefully take our expired copyrights and make fantastic inventions, for example the bullet train in Europe.

AWESOME!!!

This is the single most insightful book about our country and society, how we got here and where do we go?...This is an incredible book that all of the silent majority should read! A wonderful book wish you could get his other books as well! Paul Cedervall

If We'd Known Then, Hindsights Easy, Foresights a Gift

Having come of age when this book was posed I was amazed at how uninformed I was.USA
