 | Discovering America As It Is by Valdas Anelauskas
Discovering America es it Is provides one dissident`s eye-view of America, contrasting what Anelauskas terms American extreme capitalism not only with the former Soviet system, but also with the more humane operations of European and other capitalisms. It provides a gripping blow by blow analysis of the negative effects and ramifications of major U.S. social policy directions over the past decade and raises serious questions concerning America`s leading role as a model for development, and even its future competitivity due to the deterioration of its human capital resulting from antisocial domestic, policies.
