Donovan)   In America vs. Americans , Eric Wade presents American Laborism, a revolutionary new economic system, where the greatest commodity isn't cash, it's work. Capitalism is broken. Despite its successes, capitalism gives us the largest wealth gap in American history, failing Social Security, a weak currency, and a looming threat of AI destroying our workforce. We need a new system—one built around people rather than capital . A system that values each person's unique contribution, ingenuity, and hard work—their labor . A system in which the greatest commodity isn't cash; it's work. And a system in which Americans at every level of society and government are working together. We need American Laborism, a revolutionary new system that presents a workable, low-tax form of capitalism for those who want it —and a dignified, healthy, happy, and fulfilled life for everyone else. Under American Laborism, if you're happy with the current capitalist system, great! Carry on—but you'll get to do it with a smaller government, fewer regulations, better-educated employees, and lower taxes. And if capitalism hasn't worked out as well for you, you get access to unlimited free education and training, guaranteed housing and food, and a sound asset-backed currency. Everybody wins! American Laborism isn't just a replacement for capitalism. It's an upgrade. Every American has the right to live a life of dignity, to contribute, and to ensure that their basic needs are respected by their society. American Laborism can improve the lives of every American by bringing the least among us up . . . without bringing anyone else down . It's time to heal our nation. It's time for American Laborism. KIRKUS REVIEWS: "OUR VERDICT: GET IT" An enticing look at government reformation that manages to bring something new to the table. In the world of books about how to fix America, readers will find it refreshing to come across something novel. Rather than clinging to far left or far right concepts, American Laborism creates something different. A system that aims to both lower taxes and create affordable education is one that certainly helps to bridge political divides. -- Kirkus Reviews & & & & & & & & & "Eric Wade has done a rare thing: Carved out a different -- brilliant and unique and unexpected -- path for the evolution of capitalism that actually makes sense. The ingenuity that Eric has applied to the world of cryptocurrencies is on full display in a startlingly creative vision of how the American economy could work. If only those in a position of power listen to Eric, we'd all be in a much better place." - Kim Iskyan, Publisher/CEO of Porter & Company & & & & & & & & & America vs. Americans: How Capitalism Has Failed a Capitalist Nation and What We Can Do About It promises and delivers a hard-hitting assessment of modern America in all its failings and success. But wait: there's more. Eric Wade doesn't just point out the obvious: he delivers the unexpected with an in-depth solution he calls American Laborism: a proposed new economic system that addresses many of the failures capitalism has created throughout American society. [...] Especially thought-provoking are the titles of chapters that contrast and maintain why capitalism AND Marxism have both ultimately proved failures; albeit in eerily opposite ways. Capitalism "failed because not everyone has capital" while Marxism "failed because some people do have capital." Libraries and schools will ideally choose this book as a key container of debate material that will prove essential to fostering students as interested in solutions as in identifying problems in American economics and politics. Book clubs, as well, will find its contentions, vision, and analysis worthy of debate as policies, systems, and traditional thinking alike are confronted and assessed for new possibilities. -- D.
