In an age of miserable polarization, where foaming tribal hatred has replaced respectable discourse, some people have given up hope. Why We Need It provides the careful analysis of issues needed to reignite the flame of confidence and bring people of various political opinions together in the interests of American workers and national security. Pure rage need not continue to rein, if we can only put aside the emotions and look at sheer facts.
An awesome short book for seeing the political situation with a dose of rationality. I have finished it in one sitting but it contained more information and opinions than some longer counterparts from the same genre. Goldberg has a very clean and organized style of writing: neither too poetic and neither too factual and boring. Motivated me to check out his other books. For people thinking about buying this book, I highly recommend it.
