<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Big Corporations and their super wealthy owners have bought many politicians through campaign donations and lobbying. These politicians vote to benefit their donors more than the people. They have outsourced our jobs; dismantled our public education and colleges; neglected our healthcare; destroyed our environment; brought us global warming and climate disruption; polluted our food supplies by deregulating Big Agribusiness, allowing pesticide use and Genetically Modified (GMO) foods; brought on the Wall Street crash and Great Recession, from which the bottom 99% of Americans have not yet recovered, while the super wealthy top 1% get richer. These Corporate sponsored policies created the greatest gap between the rich and poor since the Great Depression, and a disappearing middle class. Professor Peter Mathews critiques this "Dollar Democracy on Steroids" which brings Liberty and Justice for Some, and he also provides solutions that will bring Liberty and Justice for All! Peter Mathews life's work involves educating the public on accurate facts and progressive ideas in order to create and expand equal opportunity in America and the world. This has driven his quest for economic and social justice through the media and his work in the community.

With clarity and courage, he fights against 'Dollar Democracy' on behalf of Real Democracy. Well written and well informed, this book is a citizen's weapon." --Michael Parenti, Ph.D., Yale University, author of Democracy for the Few, The Face of Imperialism, and Waiting for Yesterday.</p><p>"Besides jobs, the author sets his sights on such hot button topics as education, health care, the environment, and Wall Street vs. Main Street, and election finance reform....Despite the country's dire state of affairs (Peter Mathews) remains optimistic, and closes the opus with some viable plan for the people to reclaim the American Dream. The literary equivalent of a one-man million-man march for equality and justice for every U.S. citizen." --Kam Williams, Film and Literary Critic</p><p>"Reminding us that history is what hurts, Dollar Democracy ecapsulates the experience of most 21st century Americans abandoned to the interests of Big Business. College professors interested in the whole host of modern-day indignities would do well to expose students both to the century's culminating disorder -- a democracy gutted by money in politics and a vanquished and vanishing middle class -- and to Mathews' enumeration of the promise that could be if the nation reinvested in the lives of its American dreamers." --Dr. Kathryn Stevenson, Professor of English, Riverside Community College</p><p>"Peter Mathews is a great fighter for Truth, Justice, the American Way ... and our Natural Environment!" --Harvey Wasserman, author of Solartopia: Our Green Powered Earth</p><br>
