He has taught philosophy at Hunter College, Long Island University, and New York University and is now host of the national radio talk show Philosophy: Who Needs It. He worked closely with Ayn Rand for thirty years and was designated by her as her intellectual heir and heir to her estate. LEONARD PEIKOFF is universally recognized as the pre-eminent Rand scholar writing today. Alan Greenspan “A fascinating weave of German history, philosophic determinism, and Objectivist polemic.” Everyone concerned with the collectivist trend in today’s world should read this book.” As to my personal reaction, I can express it best by paraphrasing a line from Atlas Shrugged: ‘It’s so wonderful to see a great, new, crucial achievement which is not mine!’ ” Its style is clear and hard as crystal-and as sparkling. The book is clear, tight, disciplined, beautifully structured, and brilliantly reasoned.
If we refuse to listen to the cynics, we can join these everyday Americans, young and old, and harness our greatest resource: ourselves.“ The Ominous Parallels offers a truly revolutionary idea.
And we can follow the examples of the national heroes who are fighting for change and demanding accountability from our elected officials at the highest levels. We can join the people taking action at the local level, like the residents of a town in Oregon who protested unfair bills by paying in pennies, chickens and the shirts off their back. We are on the cusp of a new era of progress, but we can't sit back and hope our elected officials will carry us there. In this stirring call to arms, John Whitehead tells the stories of the local heroes who stood up to a cynical government, and who are creating thriving communities of change. Our nation has the potential to be an example of freedom and justice to the world and each of us has the ability to have tremendous impact. "The Change Manifesto is a street-by-street, town-by-town guide to making an America that works.
