| #1 After 50 years of failed government promises in Detroit, the money has dried up, welfare has run out and the city is headed for fire sale. LeDuff's memoir is devoid of any petty, partisan slant. It is not a book about competing political philosophies. He is too good for that What's wrong with this picture. Hey LeDuff, did those 50 years of failed government happen in a vacuum? Government is the creature of "petty" partisan politics. Political Philosophy is what defines the rules and lays out the playing field. Oh, that's right, you're too "good" to dabble in root causes, effects and remedies; it would "bore" you. If politics and philosophy is bent in the service of personal power and riches then you eventually get the failure that is Detroit just as it was in the USSR and other places. Politics and philosophy caused this disaster and they are the only things that can rebuild it...........if people really want to. |
