Review of The Solution is Political Revolution
The book with the catchy title The Solution is Political Revolution by Jillion R. Rising is a non-fiction book that combines several social, political, economic, financial, and legal aspects. The author was prompted to write this book by the state in which American society finds itself today, as well as by the bleak outlook.
The fact that the baby boom generation is set to fully retire in record numbers over the next two decades is worrying. Perhaps the central place in the book is occupied by the 2008 mortgage crisis, which the author sees as the generator of numerous misfortunes. In addition, the author deals with the abolition of the gold standard, the introduction of fiat currency, the state and structure of the national debt of the United States, globalism, and numerous other relevant topics. Although often bleak, the book ends with an appeal to Generation Y and progressive ideas that could bring about change.
What I really liked about the book The Solution is Political Revolution is its basic concept, which implies that for each of our actions there is a corresponding reaction, and this principle is further applied to everything around us. The book presents much useful information, such as the fact that citizens of the United States are precisely those who own more than 70 percent of the government debt. In a very prudent and logical way, the author analyzed the oft-repeated sentence that treasury bonds are the safest investment. The cost of attending college and the issue of homeownership did not escape the author's analytical spirit. Some of the author's proposals seem refreshing and like the right thing that would help American society as a whole, such as replacing representative democracy with direct democracy, the basis of which would be citizens' decisions in a referendum. This proposal can be strengthened by the idea of reducing the national debt as well as using tax dollars to fund innovative ideas.
There are several things I didn't like about the book. First of all, I mean the somewhat insufficient analysis of numerous factors in American society. Therefore, I think that the author did not pay enough attention to the further consequences for the American economy if the immediate problems were to be solved in the way that the author propagates. For certain claims, the author offers little or no evidence at all. Factual errors are also noticeable in places, such as the fact that influential American and world financiers are mentioned in the context of the reconstruction of war-torn countries after World War II, even though some of them were not even alive at the time.
The decision on how to rate the book was quite complex because numerous positive and some negative aspects of the book had to be taken into account. The combination of numerous data from the most diverse spheres of life and their skillful presentation to the readership, along with common sense and logical thinking, as well as sincere patriotism and the author's enthusiasm, certainly outweigh the occasional superficiality. That's why I decided to rate the book three out of four stars.
I recommend the book to readers with an affinity for books in the fields of economics and political economy. I also recommend the book to fans of books in the field of social studies and social change.
