Visionary Nation: Four Centuries of American Dreams and What Lies Ahead

This lively, anecdotal volume examines the continuous thread that runs through the tapestry of the American experience, focusing on the history that has shaped our culture, and envisioning the future that will revolutionize our lives. Just as the Puritan vision of a city on a hill was supplanted by the Founding Fathers' vision of individuality, just as the expansive vision of a government-led Great Society was eclipsed by the New Economy in the 1990s, so too will the New Economy be replaced in our near future by a period when community and spirituality occupy center stage. A Visionary Nation enlightens, engages, entertains, and prepares us for the next phase of our nation's growth.
