Publisher's Summary:
What did the great anthropologist Alfred Kroeber conclude after all his work? First, that individual geniuses tend to rise from advancing cultures, not declining ones. Second, that cultures advance when ethics and values become understood and are deeply embraced and when competence is tested through competition. Cultures decline when the opposite happens. Successive American Presidents have sought to consolidate power. Not a good sign. The two presidential candidates leading in the polls as of mid-October, have turned their backs on trade policies that freely engage with the world. Hows the country doing on the ethics and values front? Sheesh do we want to go there? Conclusion: the American political system is in decline.
