James Polk's portrait of America is riveting . . . his arguments
are sound and convincing. An important, fascinating book written
with a strong message.-Norm Goldman, Bookpleasures.com It is James
Polk's belief that North Americans have largely abandoned the
public sphere for the sake of individual fortune. In The Triumph of
Ignorance and Bliss, he examines the foundations of a culture that
he sees as favoring firepower over diplomacy, passions from the
pulpit over rational critique, and the star appeal of media idols
over the struggle with real problems. Where engaged public
discourse should channel effective dissent, there is ignorance;
where public outrage should ignite corrective action to oppose the
status quo, there is bliss.
