America's Downward Spiral: A Call for Action offers a well-documented explanation and solutions for many contemporary troubles. Some have similar causes and interconnections. The recent collapse of a Minneapolis bridge has links to shortages of American engineers, scientists and teachers. Both are interconnected with serious unfairness in our system of justice. The book examines America's failure to adapt to a rapidly changing world. Examples are the many disasters that began the twenty-first century and their causes. Among them were the year 2000 stock market crash, the 9/11 planes that destroyed the World Trade Center killing thousands of Americans, the endless Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and many others. The roots of those disasters are traceable to long-outdated institutions and practices. Among them is our federal system that has had scant responsibility for our infrastructure such as that Minnesota bridge. Its other outcomes include forty million people without any health insurance. It also is why our schools keep American children within the lowest test score rankings and highest dropout rates in the modern world. Other serious troubles include our military-industrial complex, about which President Eisenhower warned us, but is far more powerful today than it was over fifty years ago. Another is the failing of our media to inform us of these and other national shortcomings. Nor are we informed about the ongoing massive frauds that are not treated as crimes. In order to overcome our downward spiral, we must choose political leaders who understand what is needed. They must be knowledgeable and especially to be ready to create new polices for avoiding war, protecting the environment, unifying our national system, and promoting a fairer system of justice.

These United States are not very united. Washington DC is in gridlock, politically frozen. "The Crumbling Empire" presents all the hard issues: energy, healthcare, education, immigration, and more and offers some very workable solutions. Our leaders continue to give us the same old rhetoric, meanwhile our national debt is rising and our global reputation is plummeting. Authors John and Katherine Ford take readers on a journey back through history to the place where it all started to go wrong. As politicians debate the inane, the foundation of this great country is disintegrating. Will we fail as all empires before us have? 'We the people' must stop "The Crumbling Empire."

Websters Dictionary traces "sociopathic" usage to 1944, defining it as "characterized by asocial or antisocial behavior, or a psychopathic nature. "Sociopathy" is used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM). Especially notable and and influential has been Adam Smith. His first book was entitled The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Its first chapter was on "sympathy." The first few lines of its first paragraph are quite different from the modern economists image of Adam Smith. To Mona Charen, "Liberals have hurt the poor, to be sure. But they are also engaged in a long-term guerrilla war on Americas soul." 21st century capitalism differs enormously from its 18th century predecessor--ascetic capitalism. Abstinence, austerity, frugality. spirituality, and virtue play scant part in the higher levels of contemporary successful capitalists. Milton Friedmans 1970 article in the New York Times makes clear his view of business: "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits."Throughout the article he made clear that "only people can have responsibilities" while business can have no other purpose than to "increase its profits." The 14th amendment. enacted for the protection of freed slaves, was then used as a precedent for defining a corporation as a "natural person." Since then, the courts have struck down hundreds of laws protecting citizens from corporations. Millions of severe illnesses and deaths are the result of deliberate actions by the chief executives of the tobacco industry. Are they not sociopathic leaders, as well their major stockholders? The Iron Triangle: Inside the Secret World of the Carlyle Group, published in 2003 by Dan Briody, demonstrates where military, industry, and government have finally been unified.

Ushering in a new era of confessional music that spoke openly about experiences of trauma, depression, and self-loathing, Nine Inch Nails' seminal album, The Downward Spiral, changed popular music forever—bringing transgressive themes of heresy, S&M, and body horror to the masses and taking music technology to its limits. Released in 1994, the album resonated across a generation, combining elements of metal, industrial, synth-pop, and ambient electronica, and going on to sell over four million copies. Now, Into the Never explores the creation and cultural impact of The Downward Spiral, one of the most influential and artistically significant albums of the twentieth century. Inspired by David Bowie's Low and Pink Floyd's The Wall, the album recounts one man's disintegration as he descends into nihilism and nothingness. Blurring the lines between autobiography and concept album, creation and decay, it is also the story of Trent Reznor (who is Nine Inch Nails) as he pushed himself to the edge of the abyss, trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-destruction. The Downward Spiral also presents a reflection of America and a wider culture of violence, connecting the Columbine High School shooting, the infamous Manson family murders, and the aftermath of Vietnam and the Gulf War. Featuring new interviews with collaborators and artists inspired by the album, Into the Never sets The Downward Spiral in the context of music of the era and brings the story up to date, from Reznor's recovery to his reinvention as an Oscar-winning soundtrack artist.

America has suffered two economic blows in less than a decade: the collapse of the dot com bubble in 2000 and the collapse of the real estate bubble in 2007-2009. These blows have left the U.S. struggling to stay on its feet. Spiraling Downward considers the consequences if a still-weak America took another hit, another stock market crash and credit crunch. Given unaddressed imbalances in the US economy, an economic collapse, is indeed possible. This book charts a path that an economic collapse might take. It starts with the anatomy of a market crash and a credit crunch. It seeks to identify the danger zones from which another crash might arise. It then looks at how a crash might shock an economy already weak into an unarrested downward spiral. Spiraling Downward thus offers a way to think about the unthinkable. At a time when conventional views of recession and recovery prevail, this book asks us to consider a different proposition: maybe this time it’s different.
