America is deeply in trouble, with high unemployment and huge
national debt often cited as the top two problems. But what is the
root cause for these problems? To me, here are the two root causes:
1)The rise of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South
Africa), led by China, as economic competitors to America. 2)The
incompetence of America's political system, especially when
compared with China's. Cause 1) was inevitable, but cause 2) was
not. How, then, can we make America's political system more
competitive? Introducing strict term-limits for the top political
offices, with the American Presidency being one-term (e.g. six
years), plus more Overall, I believe I have the most accurate
diagnosis for America, as well as the best solution. To sell them,
I have been writing and publishing my ideas for more than four
years. Very significantly, I have met with several top politicians
for discussion. The photo below shows one example (photo omitted
here). Most importantly, I have been a weekly columnist at GEI
(Global Economic Intersection) since May 2011, elaborating my ideas
from various angles to a wide variety of readers. It's time to
further expound on it by writing a book for one simple reason: the
2012 U.S. election is over, thus concluding my first phase of
"saving America." This book is composed of 80 of my published
articles, logically organized into a coherent whole in 12 parts as
follows: 1)America: diagnosis and solution 2)What is an ideal
government? 3)America: an overview 4)China: an overview 5)Democracy
6)China: in some depth 7)America: in great depth and breadth
8)America and China 9)America's foreign policy 10)Six
democracy-communism similarities 11)Famous quotes and
interpretations 12)My personal life Each part contains several
chapters. Each chapter is an article previously published, with
some significant] re-writing to fit it in context. Some articles
have their original publication dates attached, with the events at
the time as the background. Part 1 defines the goal of this book.
It contains two chapters as the diagnosis and solution for America,
respectively. Part 2 goes beyond America. It contains two chapters,
addressing two vast subjects: "towards an ideal form of government"
and "built to last: structure and conscience," respectively. The
remaining 10 parts are supporting materials for Parts 1 and 2. This
paperback is different from its sister ebook in several ways as
follows: 1)Most of the color images in the ebook have been removed.
2)Like the ebook, there is not a bibliography at the end of this
book. Since all the references are available on-line, I kept them
in the form of hyperlinks. A reader can easily find them with a
simple Google search by the title. 3)As in the ebook, the table of
contents appears right after this page, with the hyperlinks being
removed, obviously. Here is a quote: "you cannot open a book
without learning something." Who said it? Confucius Here is an
interpretation of the comments by the book reviewers: "you cannot
open a good book without learning a lot of good stuff " Now, just
sit back and enjoy the book ... Some kind words from a fan ... "I
am 84 years old and I have been in the scale business since 1949.
My tie with China goes way back to 1945, when I, serving in the
U.S. Navy, stationed in China for a few months. It's amazing for me
to see the changes in China in recent years. It's even more amazing
for me to know Frank Li, a Chinese-American, who writes so well
about American politics that I print out all his writings, save
them in a folder, and read them over and over. What a modern-day
Thomas Jefferson " --- Lee Offield, Pacific Scales (Clackamas,
Oregon), December 2010
