【實用書籍app】Dismantling America (by Thomas Sowell)|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

DISMANTLING AMERICA by Thomas Sowell (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).“For anyone looking for a straightforward and honest discussion of the origins of our current crisis, informed by a deep understanding of both economics and politics.” (Washington Times)These wide-ranging essays have as a recurring theme the decline of the values and institutions that have sustained and advanced America for over two centuries. The decline has, in many cases, been a deliberate dismantling by people convinced that their superior wisdom must override both the traditions of the country and the will of the people.Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing.

This decline has, in many cases, been a deliberate dismantling of American values and institutions.Whether these essays are individually about financial bailouts, illegal immigrants, gay marriage, or national security, the underlying concern is about what these very different kinds of things say about the general direction of American society.
