Galileo In America

This book describes where America went wrong and how it departed too far from the principles upon which it was established. Ours was a system of self-government, not something imposed on us by an iron fist from afar, as was the Old World’s custom. It is what made us so different from all other nations. It is the growing gap between legislators and those governed by them, as the disease of abuse of power. It is the abuse of power by the few over the many that harpoons the life and efforts of free, creative geniuses that stand apart from the community or herd, providing us with prosperity above all other nations.
