Unscrewing America: Hints and Hopes from the Heartland

Mike McCabe

4.9/5 (24504 ratings)

Description:Anyone puzzled by the state of the union had better carefully study places like Mike McCabe’s home state of Wisconsin. Clues to solving the riddle are hidden there. Unscrewing America explores how and why American politics has taken a turn toward madness, and describes how and why so many Americans have come to believe the nation’s best days are in the rear-view mirror. But the book doesn’t dwell on diagnosis. It emphasizes cure. Unscrewing America is part travelogue, part case study, part manifesto, part how-to guide. At the book’s core is the belief that the best solutions to what torments Americans today will not likely come from the one in a million who has achieved celebrity or is heroically triumphant, but rather from plain people who have suffered setback after setback, who have lost and learned. At a time when so there is so much talk about making or keeping America great, the country’s greatness hinges on our ability to remake ourselves. In a nation obsessed with winning, at a time when so many believe America’s future has never been cloudier and national decline seems more or less inevitable, our greatness will be determined by how we all cope with—and respond to—loss. The book’s author has lived across the rural-urban divide, with a foot in both worlds, having spent nearly half of his life out in the country and the rest in Wisconsin’s second-largest city and state capital. As a longshot candidate for governor, he journeyed over 100,000 miles in 11 months. The people and conditions encountered along the way bring into sharp focus how America is screwed, and what it will take to unscrew it. Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin call Mike McCabe a “ray of hope” who “describes in vivid detail how things got so fouled up” but also “offers a way out.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
