Reason Enough to Hope: America and the World of the Twenty-First Century

This book is fantastic if you read it slowly and with an open mind. They are not promoting a utopia, but instead a better world. The ideas come from far above the harsh realities of day to day life, but they should (could) affect the governments and leaders of the world and voters in democratic societies. Did you know that the rate of increase of the population is slowing? Did you know that for 30 years planes circled the globe carrying nuclear bombs? Do you have any idea of the scales of expenditure related to the military or food or medicine? If you care, read this book.
