This country is going to explode

April 18, 2000

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read this book because it was mentioned in "Civil War II" by Thomas Chittum. I like Linds book for his description of the way things are in our society, but I don't like the solution he proposes to the increasing level of ethnic conflict, which is intermarriage. I really enjoyed this book and I think it had a greater impact on me than the other reviewers because I read Chittum's book first.

lind develops a new view of American history and politics

June 4, 1998

Format: Paperback

Michael Lind provides a fantastic reinterpretation of American history while asserting a unique and contrarian vision for the future. He divides American history into three eras -- the first from before the Revolution through the Civil War, the Second from the Civil War to the early 60s, and the final one from the 60s to the current. He says the epochs differed from each other in that each one had its own informal (but very real) set of criteria that would determine whether a particular individual qualified as a "true" American citizen. To qualify for that title in the first era, one had to be white, Anglo-saxon, and Protestant. In the next era, a de facto American was considered to be anyone who was white and Christian. He describes the current era in overwhelmingly negative terms. First, he points out that affirmative-action programs have served to divide, rather than unite, the people of this nation by making individuals conceive of themselves as members of some artificial bureaucratically-invented ethnic group, rather than as members of an ethnically diverse America. Everyone except white males gets preferences these days, and Lind calls for the abolition of affirmative action by quoting the noble Martin Luther King, Jr. Despite taking a conservative stance on that one particular issue, (and, arguably, a few of his other stances are fairly conservative) Lind is no right-wing ideologue. In fact, he argues that the Republican and Democratic Parties (he used to be a Republican before changing his tune) are both dominated by the rich and influential through our campaign-finance system, which he likens to bribery. Lind writes extensively on the concentration of wealth in this country that has occurred over the last 25 years, and he blames conservatives who shifted the tax burden from the rich onto the poor. He proposes free college education for everyone, and a return to a progressive tax system based on one's ability to pay. Lind takes issue with the theory of free trade, whi! ch he asserts has worked only to the benefit of the rich and upper-middle class in this country. He also argues for a more restrictive immigration policy that is based on the admission of technically skilled foreigners into the country, asserting that such a policy would improve equality and efficiency in the economy. Lind addresses so many issues with such intelligence and insight that it is difficult to detail them all here. Lets just say he offers a brilliant and onorthodox view of history, and advances a comprehensive plan to get American past our current quagmire, and into our "fourth era." His policy prescriptions and social perspective are developed by taking the very best ideas from the right and left, and melding them together. (on the balance, he is slightly left of the center, but certainly unique even among people in that grouping) While I didn't agree with everything he said (i'm somewhat more to the left), I was very impressed with this book, and agreed overwhelmingly with the basic themes expressed therein. This book's advice will probably not be implemented into policy by our ruling elites, but that's a shame. Lind has alot to offer in this book, which is one of the very best (and most unusual) analyses of American politics and history to be written in quite some time.

A COURAGEOUS, GROUNDBREAKING BOOK

August 20, 1999

Format: Paperback

I first became aware of this book when it was reviewed in the VILLAGE VOICE in 1995 and I was instantly intrigued. Whereas certain other intellectuals and pundits sell-out to the conventional wisdom, Lind scrutinizes it, debunks it, defies it. That alone merits respect. There is so much to praise in this ambitious book, where to start? Lind presents a three-phase analysis of American history. Each phase has its own "extra-constitutional bargain" defining relationships between classes and who is or is not an authentic "American". His presentation of the misbegotten evolution of affirmative action in the the third and current phase will open the eyes of liberal and conservative readers alike. Good stuff. Lind pokes fun at how much ink has been wasted over the years debating and studying the underclass to death, while no one says a peep about the havoc wrought by the overclass. In his account, the "white overclass" is no more than twenty percent of America's population and consists of overpaid attorneys, CEOs and others with post-graduate degrees who are animating both political parties with a free-market, largely libertarian worldview at odds with the populist "wage-earning majority" of all races and ethnic groups. When Lind starts exposing the "hypocrisy and cunning" of the overclass...oh man, music to my ears. I don't want to give much more away. I will add that his analysis of the folly of recent immigration policy and his advocacy of a "social tariff" really hit the bulls-eye. His description of a possible trans-racial, post-multicultural "Fourth American Republic" ends things on an imaginative and optimistic note. Just terrific.
