Blowing the Roof off the Twenty-First Century

"As usual, McChesney provides astute analysis and a clear look at the state of journalism today. I can only hope it broadly becomes the required reading it deserves." ~Bill Kovach, former Washington Bureau Chief, The New York Times

"Regardless of their voting history and political views, anyone who gives McChesneys lucid, accessible State of the Nation his or her time will find it worthy of thought and discussion." ~Publishers Weekly

"Robert McChesney reveals once again why he is one of the thinkers who really matter to American society. Whether he is analyzing military spending or the explosive growth of prisons, whether he is critiquing the destructive power of the wealthy on American democracy through massive political donations or the perils the monopolistic control of the media present for the future of our nation, McChesney shines a bright light on what the wealthy and powerful want to remain hidden. While I many not agree with every one of his conclusions, few have shown as powerfully how American democracy is at risk in the 21st century." ~Senator Bernie Sanders

"Here is Robert McChesney at his most urgent! Read this book and find out how capitalism is eating our democracy and devouring the weband what you can do about it." ~Matthew Rothschild,senior editor, The Progressive
