I had a hard time returning this audio book; it was SO GOOD. but i see it's not for sale and ok, i want to listen to other books. But this should be REQUIRED listening/reading for every American who needs to hear our real state of the union, a country painfully in decline which must re-invent itself to thrive in the 21st century. As the authors say: education, immigration, infrastructure, energy research & development in the modern world of IT and the internet. Mr. Friedman told us years ago, "the world is flat", which meant everyone could now compete more universally, which resulted in many nations surpassing America in all of the above. We have to educate our children better, demand more of ourselves, sacrifice more, compromise politically (between our 2 dysfunctional parties), raise taxes, cut some entitlements, and raise the bar of our competitive skills again if we want to be the country that "used to be us".
