Poverty of the Mind In The Land Of The Free
Poverty of the Mind In The Land Of The Free
The worst kind of poverty in the world, the author posits, is NOT material poverty, but ‘poverty of the mind’. By that unconventional definition of poverty, the country with the worst poverty in the world is not in East-Central Africa. It’s the United States of America! This book is a censure, a diatribe, a lecture, a rage, a rant, a rebuke, a reprimand, a scold, a screed, a sermon, a tirade... Against impoverished minds that have damaged American society and put American democracy on shaky ground. You might as well know there’s one BIG reason he wrote this book. Here’s what he said: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

Poverty of the Mind In the Land of the Free, by Rolland B, incisively critiques contemporary American political ideologies and leadership and meticulously examines the flawed perspectives and solutions proposed by today's political figures, asserting that even an elite education cannot shield one from having an impoverished mind. Through thought-provoking chapters, the book scrutinizes the opposition to the assault weapons ban, Trump-backed election deniers, the Republican Party, Wyoming voters, and other pertinent political subjects. Beyond his insightful analysis of the current political climate, the author advocates for a reformed educational system to better prepare future leaders.
In an era where public discourse often stifles the voices of writers and artists, this book stands out as a breath of fresh air. Rolland B's unfiltered and incisive commentary on American politics offers readers a deeper understanding of the critical issues at hand. His adept use of rhetorical questions, irony, and logical reasoning effectively convey his perspective, engaging readers in a meaningful dialogue about the state of the nation.
The author excels in dissecting the controversies surrounding influential figures such as Trump and Bill O’Reilly, grounding his arguments with quotes from articles and other sources. The book also examines the broader influences of media groups, political parties, and professionals, providing a comprehensive view of the factors shaping America's political landscape. Particularly striking is the author's revelation of a Fox News team broadcasting false information, fully aware of its fabrication.
Poverty of the Mind In the Land of the Free will resonate with intellectuals and neutral readers who value objective analysis over partisan allegiance. From uncovering scathing scandals to exposing shameful cover-ups, Rolland B presents undeniable evidence and compellingly argues for greater scrutiny in choosing our leaders. This timely and thorough exploration of the flaws in American politics is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of freedom and democracy. His candid and eye-opening words serve as a catalyst for the much-needed transformation of the political system in the USA.
