What Happened to America? From Karl Marx To The Radical Socialism of
President ObamaHis Dreams, Politics and Performance In Office
by Ralph Massey (Author)

About The Book

This is an economist-turn-businessman's view of what happened to America in his
lifetime...that is between the Depressions of 1929 and 2007. The narrative starts with
the ballooning Federal Debt. Then...it considers the competing economic
development theories of John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman; and it ends with
Modernized Marxism and the Presidency of Barack H. Obama Jr..
It is the story of the New Left and the Far Left in America. The critical pivot point in
this narrative is the election of President Obama in 2008. He is a Radical Socialist
whose election was, in effect, a Bloodless Coup by what is the Far Left of the
Democratic Party.
Senator Obama was a viable Presidential candidate of many gifts but precious few
accomplishments. He was elected twice and has doggedly implemented his radical
socialist agenda. The author contends that the U.S. is now in uncharted territory
where the welfare of the average American is likely to become materially worse
rather than better.
