    Summary:

    Conservative economic policy has created what investor Warren Buffett has called a Sharecropper Society, a quasi-vassal state indebted to foreign interests. This is the result of a conservative Red State culture. The author contends that Democrats need to restore a liberal Blue State culture that will deliver the country from its economic servitude. The book lays out the historical basis for doing that. In addition, the author presents a statistical analysis of the Red and Blue states, showing the economic context in which they operate. Further statistical data on the Red and Blue states is in the Appendices. Candidates have roughly nine seconds to get their message across to the average voter. This book gives coherent statements of Democratic and liberal values, and encapsulates information, particularly economic and Democratic Party historical data, in a focused message. The book provides a theoretical and philosophical basis from a historical and economic point of view to advance those ideas that were so successful for the Democratic Party from 1930 to 1964. This is a one-volume reference work for Democrats, and should be of interest to anyone involved in the political process.
