The Pyrrhic State of America

Dr. Ronald Barnes and Attorney Amanda Gray have collaborated to give a substantial review on the current state of American society. The Pyrrhic State of America addresses the state of the economic, educational, social, psychological, and legal perspectives, as well of how these perspectives were affected by the coronavirus pandemic in terms of the political climate. An analysis of the GNP, GDP, international trade issues, the US debt situation, income inequality, political, and employment statistics gives insight into the fragile nature of America's economy. The views of American citizens and the political leadership, in a discriminative America combined with coronavirus will, hopefully, cause America to reevaluate its priorities and policies

Dr. Barnes and Attorney Gray present arguments that the best interest of American citizens are ignored in favor of the politicians serving the minority population of wealthy and rich Americans. Evaluating legal issues of limiting freedoms and assessing the ramifications of government officials intentionally misleading the public are explored. Past policies and laws that have favored the wealthy and upper class have a pyrrhic impact on American culture and society. America's ability or inability to deal with crisis under the Trump administration presents evidence that the American economy is fragile, based on the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.

Analyzing the issues, presents us with insights for improvement. Ironically, the "best country on earth" reputation of America has paradoxically produced the unhappiest generations of individuals, millennials, generations X, Y, and Z. How does a great country have unhappy citizens? It is the improvement of our American society and implementation of policies and laws, better serving the American citizens, that should be the legacy focus of this book.
