Description:My America is a wake-up call.This powerful series of essays compares and contrasts how the ideals of America’s founders seem to have been lost of late, creating divisiveness, anxiety, and deep uncertainty about where our nation might be headed. These are deeply personal essays by Alan Weinstein, an observer attempting, like any of us, to make sense of how we have gotten to today’s polarized and divisive climate.How have the ideals that launched arguably the world’s greatest experiment in democracy progressed over the past 246 years—and why do they appear to have been eroded so significantly of late? Weinstein’s essays describe how winning and wielding power have become more important than honoring the democratic principles our founders codified to nurture and sustain our democracy. Weinstein explores the growing gap between our nation’s highest aspirations at its inception and its sad descent toward mediocrity—or worse—today.My America is not proscriptive; it is descriptive. Weinstein simply asks his readers to reflect on the comparisons he provides and then act to help recapture and preserve the principles our founders embraced.As a wake-up call, My America needs to be read now—while there’s still time to act.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
