Book Reviews of Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
Book Review: Practical Common Sense.
Summary: 5 Stars
I think Lee highlights what many have been feeling for sometime that traditional human values are changing rapidly and that leadership and debate in a politically correct world are the first casualties.
If this book is not a wakeup call to Americans and even Europeans to sit up and listen then I am afraid we will have to wait for the final wake up call when America finally looses it place in the markets to the Far East.
Lee I guess, is asking us to think about what sort of society do we really want for ourselves? A free market does not mean free for all.
I think Lee is giving voice not to prejudice and some socialist idea but to common sense about the type of world we should be creating and the prospect that unless something is done soon in the USA it will inevitably become a 3rd world country. He calls for people to start electing leaders not spin-doctors who make a virtue out of ignorance.
Lee uses very colourful analogies to press home his points. His disdain for the level of leadership provided by the so called best in the USA is palpable and justified.
It is a call to arms for leadership, common sense and possibility.
