It is not between the Left and the Right, but between the
past and the future.
America is on the edge of
a breakout. In fact, we are poised for one of the most
spectacular leaps in human well-being in history. Pioneers
of the future—innovators and entrepreneurs—are achieving
breakthroughs in medicine, transportation, energy,
education, and other fields that will make the world a
dramatically different and better
place.
Unless the “prison guards” of the past
stop them. Every American must choose a side. Will you be a
champion of the future or a prisoner of the
past?
Every potential breakthrough has to get
past a host of individuals and institutions whose power and
comfort depend on the status quo. These prison guards of the
past will strangle every innovation that threatens to change
the way things have always been done—if we let
them.
In Breakout you’ll
learn:
Why environmental extremists cling
to the myth of “peak oil,” and how the fracking revolution
is about to make America the world’s leading oil
producer
How personalized healthcare—radically
individualized treatments made possible by advances in
genetics—and regenerative medicine could wipe out our most
feared diseases, and why they’re on a collision course with
Obamacare
How self-driving cars are on the verge
of making traffic jams—and traffic deaths—a thing of the
past, unless regulators wreck them before they leave the
lot
Why a one-size-fits-all education will
become a historical curiosity, unless the teachers’ unions
and professional academicians succeed in preserving the
current dysfunctional systems
How NASA—once the
repository of American dreams of the future—became a
textbook case of death by bureaucracy Americans don’t
have to settle for a shrunken future. We can escape from the
prison of the past into a future of undreamed of opportunity
and abundance. All we need is the courage to break out.
