There are many books on the market aimed at exposing the lies or stupidity of the far-right gang that has spent years pillaging the American economy. The question is: If the far right is so funny and stupid, how is it that they and their friends are getting so much of our money? Instead of making fun of individuals, The Looting of America debunks the doctrine that is the very foundation of far-right power in America.
According to recent polls, although George W. Bush is losing the trust of the American people, the conservative movement, underpinned by false dogma, is continuing to grow, even in long-standing Democratic states such as Minnesota. That is why this easy-to-read little book is so important. The author argues that it is not enough to get rid of George W. Bush & Co. if the current band of pirates is going to be replaced by far-right clones. Sterling contends that the only way to take back what conservatives have stolen is to end the laissez faire lie that is behind the privatization and deregulation scams Republicans use to hand bags of taxpayers’ money to their friends.
The Looting of America, which the author calls “one of the most important books on democracy to appear in more than 200 years,” attacks what, for two centuries, has been the single greatest threat to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people—the false doctrine that government is bad, or evil, or less efficient than the private sector.
The book is available at all bookstores, through Ingram or Baker and Taylor, and from Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Waldenbooks.com, Borders.com, and Target.com.
The author holds a Ph.D. in economics. As a university professor, he has taught macroeconomic and microeconomic theory at the principles, intermediate and graduate level, monetary theory and policy, environmental economics, and special issues courses.
