The Brave New World of Health Care

By: Richard D. Lamm

Speaker's Corner Books is a provocative new series designed to stimulate, educate, and foster discussion on significant public policy topics. Written by experts in a variety of fields, these brief and engaging books should be read by anyone interested in the trends and issues that shape our society. Long target of policymakers and reformers, the current American healthcare system is, in the words of Richard D. Lamm, "unsustainable, unaffordable, and inequitable, and needs to be substantially amended and revised." In this informed and erudite look at the current state of the American healthcare system, Lamm exposes the problems existing not only in policy and professional circles, but also in public attitudes and expectations. In so doing, Lamm provides a framework for reform, seeking to rebuild the "house of healthcare" that has into disrepair.

The Governor's Chessboard

A Lifetime of Public Policy

By: Richard D. Lamm

Exploring the life and political career of Governor Richard D. Lamm, The Governor's Chessboard, is an intimate look at a prominent politician, including many of his successes, challenges, and defeats. Politics in America is not a place for boat-rockers, but Governor Lamm successfully made a name for himself by going against the tide of popular opinion. He violated most of the conventional rules of American politics, chiefly by taking on a number of very controversial issues, including abortion rights, civil rights, and immigration. He has always marched to the beat of his own drum, and he continues to do so, well into his eighties.

All Together Now

Creating Middle-Class Schools through Public School Choice

By: Richard D. Kahlenberg

This provocative book asks a simple question: since we know that middle class schools tend to work best, why not give every child in America the opportunity to attend a public school in which the majority of students come from middle class households? Economically integrated schools, the author argues, will do far more to promote achievement and equal opportunity than vouchers, standards, class size reduction, or any of the other leading education proposals on the left and right that seek to make "separate but equal" schools work. Building on two recent education trends—the decline in racial desegregation as a legal tool and the movement toward greater public school choice—All Together Now provides a blueprint for creating schools that educate children from various backgrounds under one roof. Concurring with the concerns of voucher proponents about the unfairness of trapping poor kids in failing schools, the book provides a practical, viable, and legally sound plan for promoting economic and racial integration among public schools.

The Compromising of America

An American Tragedy

By: RICHARD MCKENZIE NEAL

We're currently living in a fantasy world of smoke and mirrors where almost one-half of our population is receiving some level of unearned welfare, financial assistance and/or various other entitlement benefits. The number of beneficiaries has not only grown steadily over the generations, but has now reached a point where it has become a way of lifethe norm. We've all heard about the special interest groups in Washington, well, guess what? Government is its own special interest groupthe biggest special interest group of all. With no term limits members become so entrenched, by catering to their special interest groups, that their reelections are almost guaranteed each reelection cycle. Government is now only the stooge perpetuating Ponzi economics. Wars are being waged to support the scheme. It is now job creation and economic growth at all costs, when jobs and economic growth are the problems, not the solution. Ponzi credit has created too many jobs. And most of those jobs have nothing to do with individuals making a living or creating tangibles. This planet no longer has government. It has disablement. The global Ponzi credit system is the greatest crime against humanity ever perpetrated. It has squandered the planet's resources and institutionalized un-sustainability. It has created money flow, control and power that make their way into the hands of the undeserving. It has created a global frenzy for profit. Humanity had almost defeated all its predation, competition and disease, only to find itself competing and preyed upon by the worst competition imaginable...itself. It has institutionalized necessity for economic growth and population increase when the planet cannot sustain it. The game controllers are poised to profit from dwindling resources through commodity investment and war. The world's jobs are dependent on the continuation of Ponzi credit creation.
