Title: American Theocracy,
Review: American Theocracy by Kevin Philips should be on the reading list of every High School in America. K Philips brillantly explains(and foresees the current 2007-9 Real Estate bubble and recession)a lot of the troubles America is in now by going back to the past religious,political, and mercantil history of Europe and America. He weaves his facts with statistics,quotes and clever analysis.The recent rise of the religious right,its links to Oil and politics, the rise of the Financial milieux take-over of the US economy, the monstous debt weighing the average American consumer and the merger of the Republican Party with religious fondamentalists and creationists is troubling for a multitude of reasons. He deplores the new backwardness this creates in America(less Sciences more Faith based curiculums in schools)and the loss of our influence in the World.A fantastic read.
