In a summary of today's global social and economic conditions, Ben-Aharon points out the dire consequences of ignoring those obligations and explains how we can stop the destructive effects of globalization and introduce progressive social structures. Using a concept developed first by Rudolf Steiner, Ben-Aharon begins with the individual human being and his or her full actualization -- a process that America is historically and karmically destined to foster. He explains not only how we arrived at our current state of affairs, but how understanding America's role in the development of global civil society will help us achieve cultural and spiritual freedom, political equality and economic cooperation in America and the world. |

| Publisher Description: Jesaiah Ben-Aharon recalls the founding vision of the United States and reminds the reader of the obligations inherent in the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence. After summarizing current world socioeconomic conditions, the author discusses the dire consequences of ignoring the country's obligations. He explains how we can stop the harmful effects of globalization while introducing progressive social structures. Using a concept developed by Rudolf Steiner, Ben-Aharon begins with the human being and an individual's full actualization--a process that the United States is historically and karmically destined to foster. He explains not only how we arrived at our current situation, but how an understanding of America's role in the development of global civil society can help us achieve cultural and spiritual freedom, political equality, and economic cooperation in America and the world. The ideas expressed here have never been more relevant or needed in the world. |
