Burnt Offerings: The Art of Politics and the Consequences of FreedomA dark narrative that returns to its readers a much improved understanding of the culture in which they live. This scholarly compendium explores different kinds of freedom while giving the reader an entirely new view of many current political and social problems. The inclusion of three types of freedom make problem solving for many other issues potentially solvable as well. The centrol theme of this book lies in the relationship between inequality and equality. Aside from the obvious benefits of freedom and equality, the question of whether they are related to high crime rates, impoverished education, high rates of mental illness, and increasingly poor judgment in government is also discussed. In these discussions, hard statistical data is offered and logical explanations are offered. Speculation about where America may be headed politically is also included. |
