Protests around America and the world are signs that capitalism is failing. The gap between haves and have-nots has grown too large. Joblessness, hopelessness and resentment may point to the ultimate... More > collapse of our way of life. But would-be revolutionaries are right about one thing. If we want to avoid the end of the American Dream, freedom and capitalism, it will take radical action of the kind that our political leaders seem incapable or unwilling to take. For the real solution that can change the world, we have to look thousands of years into our past.< Less

Radical Equality documents the rise and fall of three constitutional principles that upset the feudal alliance of economic monopolists (landowning English nobility), religious authoritarians (the... More > Church of England), and mercenary militarists (redcoat soldiers) ruling the old world. By instituting the one person, one vote principle, the doctrine of separation of church and state, and civilian control of the military, our founding fathers built a government that protected human equality, but this protection was then overthrown by the elevation of corporations to a personhood more powerful than that of human beings, the creation of a privatized industrial arms complex, and the rise of a theocratic agenda within the Religious Right. Radical Equality exposes the inequitable ideologies used to justify the overthrow of our democratic principles: free-market fundamentalism, password Christianity, and benevolent hegemony. In so doing, Radical Equality shows America how it can regain its democratic moral compass.< Less

The real value of the book is the picture it gives of the social and political life, and for this reason, it will always be read by those who want to know what English political methods and customs were like at the time of the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832. The character of Mr. Rufus Lyon, the independent minister, is an admirable study of the non-conformist of that period. Esther's renunciation of a brilliant fortune for a humbler lot with the man she loved and admired, was quite in accord with the teaching George Eliot inculcated all her life. The scene of the story is laid in the Midlands, and the action, covering about nine months, begins in 1832.< Less
