<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published in hardcover in 2010.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>America faces a new culture war. It is not a war about guns, abortions, or gays -- rather it is a war against the creeping changes to our entrepreneurial culture, the true bedrock of who we are as a people. The new culture war is a battle between free enterprise and social democracy. <p/> Many Americans have forgotten the evils of socialism and the predations of the American Great Society's welfare state programs. But, as American Enterprise Institute's president Arthur C. Brooks reveals in <i>The Battle</i>, the forces for social democracy have returned with a vengeance, expanding the power of the state to a breathtaking degree. <p/><i>The Battle</i> offers a plan of action for the defense of free enterprise; it is at once a call to arms and a crucial redefinition of the political and moral gulf that divides Right and Left in America today. The battle is on, and nothing less than the soul of America is at stake.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arthur C. Brooks</b> is President of the American Enterprise Institute, a public policy think tank in Washington, DC. He is the author of nine books, including <i>The Battle, Gross National Happiness</i>, and <i>Who Really Cares</i>. Until 2009, Brooks was the Louis A. Bantle Professor of Business and Government Policy at Syracuse University. <p/> Previously, Brooks spent twelve years as a professional French hornist with the City Orchestra of Barcelona and other ensembles. He is a native of Seattle and currently lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife Ester and their three children.
