American Theocracy
The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21stC entury
by:
Kevin Phillips
Summary:
The book critically examines the influence of radical religion, the dependence on dwindling oil reserves, and the dangers of excessive national debt on American democracy and future stability. It argues that these three elements pose significant threats to the nation's political and economic systems, drawing parallels with historical declines of previous world powers.
Key points:
1. Religion in Politics: Phillips claims the U.S. is moving towards theocracy, with religion too involved in politics, risking secular principles.
