Review by Chadsby -- The Solution is Political Revolution
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Solution is Political Revolution" by Jillion R Rising.]
The world is in turmoil. And even though people have generally become more tolerant of each other, it seems that partisan division is at an all-time high. Abraham Lincoln once said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand” and if these partisan groups continue on this path, it will lead to the destruction of us all. Something needs to change.
This need for change is what author Jillion R Rising addresses in his book The Solution is Political Revolution. A successful businessman, Rising looks into the history of economic collapses, and identifies those responsible for increasing American debt at the expense of the taxpayer, while lining their own pockets. In reading the warning signs of the past, Rising provides solutions which give hope for a more unified future, dispelled of the poisonous corruption sewed into the current political landscape.
Rising’s arguments are thoughtful and compelling. Though he sometimes falls prey to fallacy, he can be forgiven on two grounds. First, he has a passion and love for America and all it represents that tells the reader that this book is written from the heart. Second, he is not a philosopher or lawyer or politician, but an ordinary human being who just wants to find a solution to the ongoing problem of greed at the highest ranks.
That is why I am giving this book 3 out of 4 stars. It is not some high-minded philosophical rhetoric but a book written in such a way that it will appeal to anyone who cares about the future state of their nation. The book is written with Americans in mind, and within an American context, but the arguments and suggestions are applicable to most westernised societies, making it a perfect addition to your library if you’re looking for intelligent proposals for rectifying the current economic mess we’re all in.
At points, the arguments Rising proposes are thin, and occasionally his reasoning becomes tangential. Yet, surprisingly, the overall message of the book shines through more in these moments of error than in places where Rising’s arguments are stronger: we’re all in this together, and no one person has all the solutions. We need to work together as a unified force in order to change what is wrong.
Recognising that the current system isn’t working does not require a lot of economic knowledge or insight, whether you’re politically inclined or not. Rising’s book is the inspiration we need to find ways to change the system to something that actually works. Without a doubt, Rising is right. The solution is political revolution.
