If there has ever been a time when America needs innovative ideas, enthusiasm for change, and hope for the future, that time is now. In his comprehensive guidebook, "Ideas for America," educator

Matthew Fraser shares core principles as well as a fresh perspective on how America can transform its old methodologies, approaches, and thought processes into an innovative society focused on progress, reconciliation, and peace.

Fraser, a seasoned language teacher, relies on fifteen years of extensive research in order to present a diverse examination of our education system, health and wellness, community development, federal spending, and environmental progress. In his proposed solutions to the current American situation, Fraser shares such diverse ideas as

encouraging greater utilization of vocational programs in high school education;

introducing timebanking as a powerful tool for promoting business and community;

exploring co-ownership as a new way to afford housing;

promoting the study of health and wellness programs at universities; and

using our colleges to help transition our country to a healthier, greener economy.

Through revolutionary thinking methods, "Ideas for America" offers real solutions to real problems in America while encouraging others to replace complacency with their own creative answers."
