The Last Empire details how the United States has lost its edge as the leader of the free world. Pointing to such things as loss of political integrity, erosion of its peoples' values, lack of education and increasing criminal activity, author Albert Talker warns that these evils threaten our nation's standing in the world and might bring about the total collapse of our once great empire. A sampling of topics covered includes: Democratic Capitalism, Foreign Policy of the United States, the Shrinking of the Middle Class, Class and Income Disparity, Gun Violence, and Financial Liabilities. This book is a call to arms for middle class America, in the hope that they will take the lead and restore real democracy, freedom and rights to the people of this great nation.
