THIRD WORLD AMERICA(ISBN=9780307719966) 英文原版 mobi 下载 fb2 夸克云 azw3 网盘 pdf pmlz

　　It’s not an exaggeration to say that middle-class Americans

are an endangered species and that the American Dream of a secure,

comfortable standard of living has become as outdated as an Edsel

with an eight-track player. That the United States of America

is in danger of becoming a third world nation.

The evidence is all around us:

Our industrial base is vanishing, taking with it the kind of jobs

that have formed the backbone of our economy for more than a

century; our education system is in shambles, making it harder for

tomorrow’s workforce to acquire the information and training it

needs to land good twenty-first century jobs; our

infrastructure—our roads, our bridges, our sewage and water, our

transportation and electrical systems—is crumbling; our economic

system has been reduced to recurring episodes of Corporations Gone

Wild; our political system is broken, in thrall to a small

financial elite using the power of the checkbook to control both

parties.

And America’s middle class, the driver of so much of our economic

success and political stability, is rapidly disappearing, forcing

us to confront the fear that we are slipping as a nation – that our

children and grandchildren will enjoy fewer opportunities and face

a lower standard of living than we did.

It’s the dark flipside of the American Dream – an American

Nightmare of our own making.

Arianna Huffington, who, with the must-read Huffington Post, has

her finger on the pulse of America, unflinchingly tracks the

gradual demise of America as an industrial, political, and economic

leader. In the vein of her fiery bestseller Pigs at the

Trough, Third World America points fingers, names names, and

details who’s killing the American Dream.

Finally, calling on the can-do attitude that is part of America’s

DNA, Huffington shows precisely what we need to do to stop our

freefall and keep America from turning into a third world

nation.

Third World America is a must-read for anyone disturbed by our

country’s steady descent from 20th century superpower to backwater

banana republic.
