America vs. Americans presents a revolutionary proposal challenging capitalism, aiming to address wealth inequality and provide a dignified life for all. The authors advocate for low-tax capitalism with benefits such as lifelong education, a strong military, and social well-being. The book emphasizes the system's upgrade from capitalism, ensuring fulfillment for individuals globally. It reflects on years of contemplation, frustration, and a fortuitous conversation that forms the basis of the book. The authors, critical of capitalism, propose that laborism will reshape the nation, featuring a flat tax, an annual ownership tax, and a streamlined executive branch. They address concerns about the changes, advocating for a significant but not apocalyptic transformation, urging a shift from capitalism, progressive taxes, and a streamlined government. The proposal includes equal taxation, free education, and addresses flaws in capitalism and Marxism. It explores the impact on various groups, emphasizing flexibility, inclusivity, and efficiency. The book outlines plans for remaking education, the military, and foreign affairs, proposing blockchain technology for transparency. It defines the American middle class by advocating for free education, addressing healthcare costs, and proposing a balanced approach to innovation and labor support.
 
America vs. Americans by Eric Wade with Phil Herel stands as a thought-provoking and informative work that transcends the limitations of conventional economic discussions. With its well-researched content and forward-looking perspective, the book serves as a valuable resource for those eager to explore alternative paths toward a more just and prosperous society. Furthermore, the authors' emphasis on the potential for positive global impact underscores the significance of their proposed changes. By envisioning a swift global transition, the book sparks a sense of urgency for readers to consider the viability and practicality of these proposed economic reforms.
 
One notable aspect that resonates with me in the book is the authors’ use of engaging conversations to elucidate their key points. This unique approach not only enhances the readability of the content but also serves as an effective tool for deepening the reader’s comprehension of the subject matter. The conversational tone adopted creates an accessible and inclusive atmosphere, inviting readers into the discourse and making complex concepts more relatable.
 
I discovered no flaws in this intriguing book. Delving into the pages of the book prompted me to carry out a thorough research endeavor to delve deeper into the subject matter at hand. My aim was to ascertain the viability of laborism in reshaping the nation and to gain insights into the intricate ways in which capitalism is impacting the lives of Americans. I found that the authors not only presented a compelling case but also substantiated their arguments with valid points.
 
The editing of the book is remarkably well done. I assign a rating of 5 out of 5 stars to this book due to its exceptional qualities and impact on my intellectual journey. The authors' adeptness in articulating complex economic concepts, coupled with their innovative approach of blending conversational elements, transcripts, and diverse thoughts, sets this book apart. I recommend this book to economics enthusiasts, researchers, policy analysts, and students of political science.

Veronica, thank you for a well-written and comprehensive review of this book! I've always had a penchant for the history and problems associated with American capitalism. I've read many books with authors making attempts at reforms, usually going too far to the left or the right! I am intrigued by your description of this particular book and wonder if the proposals are realistic to implement! I find the economy and capitalism to be such complex topics; it's nice to hear that the author has chosen to write this in a way that is easier to understand for the masses (especially if he expects them to be considered). Was there any one thing presented in this book that you thought was a great idea and hoped could be implemented in the future? I enjoyed reading your review, as always! Until next time...

The conversational tone fosters inclusivity and increases the relatability and accessibility of the information.

The book does appear to adopt a novel strategy by offering ideas that seek to go beyond the conventional left- or right-leaning viewpoints. The focus on building a more wealthy and decent society while taking the world's effects into account gives the conversation an intriguing new angle.
