We have traded those principles off in favor of a system totally controlled by money. It further examines the current danger of the Oligarchy we have created taking the next logical step to Autocracy.Finaly, the book offers some steps that could be taken to return us to a government of the people. However, until the American people demand more honesty, more integrity, and more dedication to service from their elected leaders, we will continue our decline.
