The idea may be hard to accept, but get used to it: theU.S. is in decline ... economic decline. Measure it globally, relative to itsclosest national rival, (still Red) China. Measure it at the personal level, inabsolute terms of the actual and projected standard of living of the typicalAmerican. Each metric tells of decline. Even worse, this decline is not a oneyear fluke. It has been an ongoing secular trend for at least thirty years - withno sign of reversal. Worse yet, the decline is "by our own hand." The declineis the result of mistakenly adopting destructive national economic policies,policies based on fallacious reasoning! Hence, the rationale for this book. Wisdom of the ages is applied to current issues. Prep yourself for the hot issues of the 2016 Presidential campaign: immigration, trade, and income distribution.
