The book draws heavily from Marxism-Leninism, as well as psychology and economics, examining the roots of the crisis in the United States, as well as factors that contributed to Kamala Harris' career.

"Caleb Maupin has crafted an urgent and necessary, both visionary and organic guide for the way forward - a bold and brilliantly conceived blueprint for political and economic rebirth out of the ashes of a decaying capitalist America, in its death throes today." Prairie Miller, Radio Host for WBAI Art Express "Maupin offers a surprising historical analysis of modern America, its populist roots and current political identity crisis. This is a sobering indictment of an American political economy in receivership, unsure how to compete with the emerging tigers of the east. Is there a viable path to economic prosperity and social stability? Whether you're a capitalist, communist, socialist or even a free-market libertarian, you'll want to read this thought-provoking book." Patrick Henningsen, founder 21st Century Wire "Caleb's latest work probes some of the contradictions presented in today's world with a perspective that is both well-grounded in classic Marxist theory and well-informed by the experiences of Marxists who have actually governed and done so successfully. He applies the rich scientific theory of Marx to modern, living reality at a time when much of what passes for a Left in the US, mired in dogma, seems unable to provide even an outline of a working analysis of the present." Don Debar, Radio Host, CPRMetro "Capitalism is a diseased and decaying system where the force of the police state and military must be now fully deployed to maintain it. The rich are getting richer and we poor are getting poorer. A socialist planned economy which ensures that 100% of the people have equal footing and opportunity is the way forward. The demise of capitalism will also guarantee the end of empire. Caleb's book is an important contribution to this desperately needed discussion."

Chaos seems to be all around us. Living standards are dropping and unrest is rising in western countries amid a backdrop of rising tension around the world. Drawing from classical history, Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, as well as geopolitics, mythology and a re-examination of Marxism, Caleb Maupin argues that there are two distinct drives within human beings, one that seeks to build and the other that seeks to plunder and destroy. In this book, the well-known journalist and political analyst examines the broken political compass and why the concepts of left and right are not as clear in the 21st century. Maupin also describes the crisis hanging over the global apparatus of production, as the irrational profit motive gets in the way of human creativity.This book points toward the way out of societal decay in the west, and to the underlying causes of the unfolding Eurasian renaissance. In an age cursed by pessimism, this book presents an optimistic view of the potential within technology and the computer revolution. From many different angles, Maupin points toward the hope for international cooperation and friendship with a win-win model of global trade. The book present an analysis of the Iran nuclear deal's demise, the efforts to crush Huawei Technologies and the Nordstream 2 natural gas pipeline, the rise of New Energy Vehicles, the contradictory behavior of the Trump White House, the rise of the New Right in Europe, the Bernie Sanders "Democratic Socialist" phenomena in America, and so much more. In his analysis, Maupin offers a repudiation of both post-modern liberal deconstruction and "greed is good" economic theories, arguing that the rational side of human beings will once again reassert itself in order to fulfill the dreams of peace and growth that seems to unite us all.
