[Peace-discuss] Book Release

[Tom Mackaman]

Dear Aware Members,
 
I write to recommend an important book:  "The Crisis of American Democracy:  The Presidential Elections of 2000 and 2004."  The author is David North, who heads the WSWS editorial board.  The analysis is excellent.  The book can be ordered through the wsws.org, or Amazon.com.  Pasted below is an excerpt from its editorial review:

"Through a detailed historical analysis, North establishes that behind the breakdown of democracy in the United States lies the deterioration of the global economic position of American capitalism, and the development of unprecedented levels of wealth concentration and social inequality. The turn to aggressive militarism abroad, and the vast expansion of police state measures during the past three years arise, he maintains, not from the so-called “terrorist threat”, but from the extreme sharpening of social and class tensions within American society itself.

Copies of The Crisis of American Democracy can be purchased online in the US for $US19.95 per issue, at sales at mehringbooks.co.uk in the UK and Europe for £8.99 per issue and mehring at ozemail.com.au in Australia and Asia for $A19.95 per issue plus postage and handling ($5 in Australia and the US, £2 in Britain—international rates extra)."
