Description

Are you concerned about the current political polarization and serious economic and social uncertainty in the United States today?

Peter Frey’s powerful, fresh, and fair-minded book, Reimagining Our American Republic: A Commonsense Vision for Uncommon Times, provides solid reasons for hope and a clear direction forward.

After educating readers on the background of the issues affecting America today and examining political problems passed down from previous generations, Frey offers detailed, thoughtful proposals—both practical and provocative—on how we can alter the way we govern ourselves and restructure our government in areas from education and voting rights to healthcare and defense—all while staying true to the intentions of the Founding Fathers.

Frey’s book is a call to action to the growing number of Americans—including young people—who are ready to understand and face the critical complexities of the present-day situation and take action to move our country beyond them.

Frey presents straightforward and optimistic proof that there are judicious solutions at hand. The book will energize readers, encourage discussion, and inspire anyone who is eager for new ideas, honest change, and making a positive impact on our country during these historic times.

As Frey asks in the book, “If not now, when?”

Frey is a published author, research scientist, and professor emeritus at Northwestern University.

This book touches on the author's ideas on how to solve issues from gerrymandering to taxes to education to welfare, health care and more. It could be retitled “The World According to Peter”! I’d say most of his recommendations are on the liberal democrat end of the spectrum but not all of them. It's also a bit simplistic (which makes it very readable) but I think the author's ideas are great fodder that hopefully will lead to necessary and engaging public dialogue. I can’t wait for the release of this book so I can read more reviews and critiques on his recommended policies. This would make a great book club read for those who want to discuss real topics effecting the future of our democratic capitalistic nation.

As an aside, I appreciated the mini-history recap at the beginning of the book that quickly explained the genesis of our government and some of the policies discussed in each chapter. I haven’t had a civic’s lesson in many, many years.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an early release in exchange for an honest review.

While the author had some great ideas on how to improve our Country, I found some of his opinions to be unrealistic. It was an interesting read and one that can spark conversation on how we can begin to move forward as a Country.
