America Matters: Post-Apocalyptic Posts & Essays in the Shadow Of Trump
About this audiobook
America matters to the world. This democratic republic has held a pre-eminence globally for more than a century. Its economic and military might have established an order within the world. This world order is now under threat from both without and within. The spotlight is on the United States of America. Many of us around the planet are looking to see what kind of response this will engender. There are forces of what could be called good and bad wrestling for the soul of America. What and who will triumph is of paramount interest to people far and wide.
As an historian, I am interested in the how and why questions in relation to where America finds itself today. Many historians of American history and knowledgeable pundits describe the republic as ‘the American experiment’. This gives the whole thing a much more acceptably volatile reading. However, when you combine that with the superpower status of the USA it makes for an uncomfortable realization of where America and the world might be heading. As an observer of the place, it calls for deeper digging into who and what America actually is.

About the author
Robert Sudha Hamilton is the author of titles on economics, philosophy, ancient history, health, and golf. He is a keen observer of the political sphere and the crises faced by humanity in the current era. Writing about America became an unavoidable fate in the increasingly polarized world we live in. Nowhere on the planet is truly safe from the ramifications of what happens in Washington DC. Living in Australia might seem a long way away but the world is a hell of a lot smaller thanks to the digital age.
