America Undone, Gebunden

Klappentext

A first-ever expert debunking of the Right's major blueprint, from a cross-section of today's leading scholars and policy specialists

"The fears expressed by so many young activists and intellectuals are not exaggerated. The United States is in real danger of becoming a corporate-friendly fascist state with an autocratic dictator intent on protecting a tiny elite and ravaging the general public as he does so." --From the introduction

Project 2025 is the specter haunting America. Running about a thousand pages, few have actually read it, but most know of its existence, and everyone is being affected by it. The game plan for the second term of President Donald Trump--and beyond--this massive compendium illuminates the assumptions and goals of Trump's base and elite supporters. Drafted under the auspices of the arch-reactionary Heritage Foundation, the report is a carefully crafted action plan by an impressive array of intellectual forces on the Right.

America Undone assembles some of today's leading experts to challenge the threats posed by right-wing extremism enshrined in this dangerous document. Its contributors not only share the belief that resistance is possible, but that providing alternatives to this burgeoning authoritarian oligarchy is more necessary than ever. Written by scholars and activists with expertise in a wide range of policy areas, the essays offer a profound critique of the radical Right's emerging vision for foreign policy, immigration, attacks on independent media, the assault on education, taxation, healthcare, the unitary presidency, and more.

Above all, the perspectives in America Undone offer a startling reminder of the power of expertise--something notably lacking in the current administration. With clarity, insight, and a keen sense of the threats before us, the authors shine a crucial light on the narrow path forward for America.
