We, Ourselves, and Us

- Creating a More Just and Prosperous America

Bag om We, Ourselves, and Us

In this new guide to American politics and economics, Gary Moreau wants to turn the "I" into "We." As he argues in We, Ourselves, and Us, Americans' cultural sense of individualism is hindering rather than helping the country. Moreau instead argues for a change to political, economic, and social systems to refocus them on the collective good. As he proposes this important change, Moreau argues that both major political parties are offering ineffective solutions to the problem, the model America was based on is no longer realistic for a modern society, both communism and socialism fail because they are still based on the idea of individuality, the unequal flow of power is responsible for a prejudiced and unbalanced society, the concepts of obligation and self-interest are intrinsically connected, individual advancement means nothing without collective advancement, and all of society is interconnected in nuanced and important ways. Moreau does not equate collectivism with communism or other political movements. He isn't arguing for the elimination of private property or other drastic changes. Instead, he simply gives you a new way of viewing systems of power and important suggestions that could lead to satisfactory results for the entire nation.
