| The latest book from Os Guinness: A Free People’s Suicide: Sustainable Freedom and the American Future
Excerpts from A Free People’s Suicide: “The greatest enemy of freedom is freedom.” “…times of dominance are the most dangerous in which to be complacent about freedom, for in the life cycle of great powers only one thing finally overcomes dominance: decline.” “Leadership without character, business without ethics and science without human values – in short, freedom without virtue – will bring the republic to its knees.” “The problem is not wolves at the door but termites in the floor.” “…the United States will be indicted for its hubris and judged before the world by whether it has lived up to the standard of its own ideals.” Reviews of A Free People’s Suicide: “Sometimes a book is so important and so timely that not to have read it is to embarrass oneself.” “Weaving together a wide-ranging knowledge of classical, constitutional and contemporary history, Guinness warns of America’s decline but charts a course for America’s renewal.” “[Guinness’] analysis of American freedom, what it has been, now is and is likely to become, is a clarion call for renewal of the founders’ vision for a free people.” |

In all of history’s great civilizations, there has come the moment when their citizens became their own worst enemies, thinking and living at odds with the values and principles upon which their nation was built. Political analyst and social critic Os Guinness provides both historical and current evidence that suggests America is perilously close to reaching this point today. But with this alert, Guinness also offers direction and encouragement for those seeking to achieve what the country’s founding fathers predicted would be most challenging: sustainable freedom.
