Review of The Solution is Political Revolution

[Following is a volunteer review of "The Solution is Political Revolution" by Jillion R Rising.]
Is America Headed for Disaster? Jillion R. Rising's The Solution is Political Revolution takes a hard look at the problems we Americans are facing today. With the cost of living going up and wages clearly not keeping up the pace, we are in trouble. Rising believes that the government isn’t working for the people; instead, it is working for big corporations and the wealthy. But is there a way to change that? I believe the answer to this question will be found on the pages of this book.
The book covers a lot of topics, from the 2008 financial crisis to the growing national debt. One of the biggest concerns is the baby boomer generation retiring in huge numbers. If Social Security is already struggling, what happens when millions more people start depending on it? Will future generations ever be able to retire, or will they have to work until they die?
Rising suggests a big change—switching from a representative democracy to direct democracy, where citizens vote on major decisions instead of leaving it to politicians. It sounds like a way to give power back to the people, but would it actually work? Would the average person have the time or knowledge to vote on every important issue? And even if they did, would those in charge ever allow it?
What I liked most about this book was how clearly the author explained things. A lot of political books can be complicated, but this one was easy to follow. There was nothing I disliked about this book. Some of the points were repeated a little too much, but it didn't detract anything from my enjoyment of the book.
The book was exceptionally well edited; I found no single error in it. Overall, I'd give The Solution is Political Revolution 5 out of 5 stars. If you’re frustrated with the way things are going and want to understand why, this book has a lot to offer.
