Publisher Comments:

RENOWNED SOCIAL CRITIC Theodore Roszak articulates a biting critique of the American political and cultural scene dating back to the conservative backlash of the Reagan presidency. World, Beware analyzes three major forces that have coalesced to produce the triumphalist policies that now dominate U.S. politics: the corporate elite, the neoconservative intelligentsia, and the fundamentalist churches.

Roszak calls for a new global constituency that would rein in the superpower's excesses, and promotes a dialogue on the future of industrialism. Fuel to resist the neoconservative assault.

Theodore Roszak's 1969 work The Making of a Counter Culture brought him international acclaim. Since then he has written sixteen works of fiction and non-fiction, among them The Cult of Information, and The Voice of the Earth. He lives in Berkeley, California.

Roszak slices though partisan rhetoric to condemn Dems and GOPers alike for the loss of political accountability. He clearly defines the two possible futures awaiting the country - as a global leader or a rogue state (guess which path we're on). This is an important book for anyone concerned about our current state of affairs, foreign and domestic.
