Pandemic, rising death toll, lockdowns, riots in the cities, presidential impeachment, soaring national debt, increasing incivility, blind justice failing - America is tearing itself apart. Why? How can this be? Where's the logic? How do we get out of this mess? Lots of questions and few answers! --- We certainly couldn't predict the Wuhan virus pandemic although we knew a pandemic must happen sometime. Yet we look at all of America's problems today and act surprised as though they could not be predicted. But this is not the case. An understanding of human nature and a look at the trends in America point clearly to a coming catastrophe. What we see today is just a sign of a larger impending disaster that will affect all Americans. --- Stop, Catastrophe Ahead! shows the trends and how our human nature leads us astray. Left unchecked, the outcome will be the total collapse of the American dollar. It seems almost inevitable now. This will be worse than the catastrophe we see every night in some of our cities. It will affect every American. --- A collapsing dollar is certainly a catastrophe. But this is not the worst thing that could happen. Underlying so many of today's disputes is the problem of magical thinking. Worse than ignoring human nature, magical thinking ignores reality. How bad can this be for us? It can cost us our freedom and even our country. --- Stop, Catastrophe Ahead! points the way to prevail against catastrophe. There is hope. It requires hard work and won't be easy. Today, we refuse to discuss virtue, although it is the first conversation we must have. Without a consensus about virtue, we can't hope to solve our problems. At its heart, this book is a call to individuals to help solve our collective problems by practicing individual virtue. So, let's start the conversation.
