The Empire Of Ignorance, Hypocrisy And Obedience: What's Wrong With America

What's Wrong With America . . . And How We Can Fix It.

This book is an immensely powerful and persuasive indictment of the most powerful nation on earth. It asks the question: "what is wrong with America?" and looks for answers by exploring the gap between America's self-image and how it appears to the rest of the world.

Is America "the land of the free" and "the cradle of democracy" promoting justice for all, or a nation sick with urban poverty, a defective political system, brutal foreign policies, gun violence, overflowing jails, a dishonest press, consumerism and an apathetic electorate?

Here is a book that makes sense of America's values and behaviour and presents solutions. It also casts light on how Australia shares some of America's ills, and provides a toolbox of practical ways to help change America and the world.

Julien Ninio diagnoses the United States in a way never done before. He discovers a central disease behind all these ills and offers a plan with actions that everyone (American or not) can take to cure America.
