The Truth About America: the Imbalance and Rebalancing of People, Government, and Market Power

What is the American truth? "The interests of capital are above all else" and "one dollar, one vote" are the true values ​​of the United States today. Under the dominance of this kind of values, social inequality has increased, infrastructure investment has been drastically reduced, and national mobilization capabilities have been significantly weakened. All it takes is a large-scale disaster to bring everything to a halt. The American dream is being shattered, America is losing its savings and housing, the middle class is disappearing, and class solidification will become the norm in this country. Because of poverty, many Americans believe in and embrace trade protectionism. The sad truth is that this will bring greater disaster to them and will not help change their situation. Concepts such as "small government, big society", "deregulation" and "neoliberal economy" are filled in the textbooks of American students. Unfortunately, these theories are the initiators of today's American tragedy. The "democracy and freedom" and "separation of powers" that the United States is proud of have now become a house of cards game for a few people. The direct results of this game include "regressive tax system", "abolition of inheritance tax" and "open corporate donations to politicians." The "freedom of speech" in the United States has also been hijacked by capital and turned into a tool to divide society, making populist and anti-intellectual speech more marketable. The above is just the tip of the iceberg of the truth revealed in this book. We stand on the cusp of an era of great change, and as witnesses of this change, we need the vision of this book to examine the truth hidden under the turbulent sea.
