Zhang, Wei-Bin. America the Great and Its Self-Destruction : Viewing the Superpower Through the Lenses of Ancient Confucianism and Chaos Theory. 1st ed. New York : Algora Publishing, 2021. Ã2021. 1 online resource (272 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier The accelerating self-destruction of the United States cannot be hidden when the loss of productivity, loss of faith in government, enflamed identity politics and social fragmentation are constant and are clearly documented. Any national assessment should be grounded in facts, and Prof. Zhang provides a plethora of economic data as a baseline for discussion. The figures and graphs reveal many sides of America that we may generally miss. In addition, Chinese and other Asians familiar with ancient Confucianism have their own sources of wisdom and commentary to guide them in assessing how they and their neighbors think and behave. Here, a Chinese academic familiar with both worlds shares his impressions and his conclusions. Prof. Zhang juxtaposes the political, economic and cultural behavior of America with sparkling quotes from Confucius, Mencius, Xun Zi, as well as Western classical thinkers from Plato to Quesnay and Weber. The book gives us a new perspective on our country -- with insights as well from Chaos Theory. Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. Electronic reproduction.
