Description:

A contemporary history of U.S. political, energy and economic issues from the perspective of an ordinary citizen writing discrete essays. The essays in this volume were drawn from the author's blogged internet posts between 2006 and 2008 and also criticize aspects of the execution of nation rebuilding in Iraq. The effort was to create a live, rather than post hoc, empirical data base from which non-standard, unsystematic history phenomena may be supported such that a sense of possibilities, opportunity costs and alternative political choices that were not selected can be comprehended.
