| Summary: |
"This is a masterful work that should be distributed widely. Anyone addressing possible future world orders should start by considering Paupp's descriptions and prescriptions." - Brian J. Foley, Visiting Associate Professor, Boston University School of Law "Terry Paupp gets it right in this book. The American Century of unipolar control is over. The cost, the arrogance, and the rise of regional "multi-polar" powers are fast replacing the post-WW II U.S. strategy of confrontation and domination. President Obama should read this book as he tries to fix the collapsing U.S. economy. Paupp clearly suggests that continued military "hegemony" is not sustainable. Better Obama join the growing cooperative global mood by converting U.S. military production to technologies like rail, wind, and solar that will help deal with the coming harsh reality of climate change. Anyone who wonders where the world is heading should read this book." - Bruce K. Gagnon, Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space "My first reaction to Paupp's book was "WOW". He has looked at the terrifying situation in which we live directly and squarely without flinching. Instead of despairing, Paupp proposes that by bringing together our wisdom and knowledge, political and social actions, and our passions, humanity as a species has a chance to escape its demise. This is an intellectual triumph of a man who does not fear the passions. Knowledge, wisdom and the passions must serve each other in this very difficult time." - Marc Raskin, Co-founder of the Institute for Policy Studies and Professor in the Stephon Joel Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration of George Washington University. |
