This is a special edition to put the power of multinational advanced
evolution science behind the American election and presidency of Barack
Obama.
Documenting the global gains from an American shift from regressive to
progressive leadership, Bankrolling Evolution: A Program for a President is
a special edition of a report drawing on the work of the multinational
General Evolution Research Group prepared for the Darwin Project Council of
over 50 leading American, European, and Asian scientists and educators.
Part I lays bare what's gone wrong with a powerful diagnosis of the
persisting threat of the pathology of regressive leadership, enablers,
followers, and money that financed the multi-billion-dollar rightwing
seizure of America.
Part II tracks how and why this happened within the context of the historic
worldwide rise of hope for the American dream and revolution in sharp
contrast to the drive backward pushed to fearful extremes during the Bush
years.
Part III explores how recapturing the vision of real power to the people can
transcend division, forge a new alliance of thinking and caring Americans,
and spread new hope, respect, and trust rather than fear, environmental
devastation, and nuclear proliferation globally.
Part IV shows how with progressive leadership and a new measure and science
of
global healing we can prevent the return otherwise potentially much worse
next time of what like the spread of a deadly illness periodically seizes
whole nations to block and drive us backward in evolution.
Bankrolling Evolution provides a dramatic look at the different kind of
future offered by the power of progressive science, a new investment in
moral evolution, and the global prospect for an Obama American presidency.
Director of research and author of the report, psychologist and pioneering
evolutionary systems scientist David Loye, is the former Research Director
for the Program on Psychosocial Adaptation and the Future, Neuropsychiatric
Institute, UCLA School of Medicine. A co-founder of two multinational
advanced evolution research groups, Dr. Loye is the author of The Healing of
a Nation, awarded the same national award earlier given to the famous
Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal for the social scientific classic An
American Dilemma.
Bankrolling Evolution is a special edition of the first book for Dr.Loye's
six book Darwin Anniversary Cycle. Succeeding titles available worldwide
with online book sellers and book stores in the U.S. through the Ingram Book
Company are: Measuring Evolution: A Leadership Guide to the Health and
Wealth of Nations; Darwin's Lost Theory: Who We Really Are and Where We're
Going; and Darwin on Love. Forthcoming in 2009: The Derailing of Evolution,
and Telling the New Story: The Place of Evolution in the Life of Every One
of Us.
