How
can we maintain peace, ecological sustainability, and economic
justice in the world while protecting and enhancing cultural
diversity? Sam Avery, author of The Globalist Papers,
shows the need now for unity among nations of the world much
the same way the "Federalist Papers" showed the need
in the 1700s's for unity among the states of America. As Sam
points out, a nuclear encounter is inevitable if the United States
continues to spread its own institutions and traditions with
armed forces. "Forced democracy and excessive patriotism
in an age of nuclear weapons will be the downfall of humanity," says
Avery. "Modern warfare is no longer compatible with civilization."
Avery
engages listeners in a lively discussion of such hot topic issues
as:
• Why
America is heading for World Empire without realizing it.
• Why national security is a threat to global security.
• Why disarmament is unrealistic and unproductive in the absence of fundamental
political change.
• Why it will always be important to be American, but more important now
to be human!
