It is this same axis of ills that has come to define America's political and economic identity in the past decade. Military miscalculations in the Middle East, the surge of fundamentalist religion, the staggering national debt, the costs of U.S. oil dependence” together these factors are undermining our nations security, solvency, and standing in the world. If left unchecked, the same forces will bring a debt-bloated, preachy, energy-starved America to its knees. With an eye on the past and a searing vision of the future, Phillips has written a book that no American can afford to ignore. | | Contents note: | Oil and American supremacy; Too many preachers; Borrowed prosperity; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14114 |
