Here's a book with an author who is actually alive now, pointing the way forward with this visionary statement.  Stephen Dinan is the founder of the Shift Network. It came out in early 2016 and I read it with excitement, thinking of course that Hillary would win. He shows "that, by returning to the sacred principles cherished by America's forefathers, we can create a 'trans-partisan,' pragmatic approach to social reform and national reconciliation that goes beyond left and right. In so doing, we can evolve beyond America's polarized plitical landscape and address urgent environmental, political and economic issues as a unified people." The vision is global, but the proposal is for America.

I confess the writing "b******t" in the margin in the chapter on The Sacred Corporation.
