Rescuing the American Dream

What happened to the American Dream? Yesterday's age of abundance and prosperity has given way to today's scarcity and decline. Too many voters, uninformed about the issues or discouraged by polarized politics, have withdrawn from the discussion entirely, believing that there's nothing they can do to create change.Michael J. Quinlan, international business executive, former U.S. Navy officer, and life-long student of history, counters this with his own refreshingly non-partisan perspective. In plain language, he examines the major factors that helped take America to the top of the world in the 20th century and describes the specific global issues that jeopardize our position right now.Rescuing the American Dream lays out clear, tractable pathways toward solutions, with opportunities that start with each of us. Quinlan uses his worldwide perspective on history, politics, and technology to call on each of us to do our jobs as Americans, to get involved in the political sphere and to demand that our leaders stop making decisions based on special interests or party line. Quinlan's book gives us hope.
