Re-Imagining America

Christopher Schaefer analyzes the "long emergency" that is destroying the Earth and human wellbeing. He suggests a practical vision of social change and personal growth for finding hope in difficult times. The book offers alternative, radical ideas for social reform and tackling inequality, providing an account of how American economic and political elites have undermined democracy and drastically weakened the U.S. while causing untold suffering in the Middle East and around the world. The author shows how we can make a lasting difference. The seeds of practical hope are nurtured for navigating chaos and for countering fear. He also suggests what we can do to re-imagine America as, "the promise of a new beginning." Christopher Schaefer calls for a new covenant between the American people and its government--one that engages both conservatives and progressives.
