City Builders and Vandals in Our Age

City Builders and Vandals in Our Age, the new book by acclaimed journalist, speaker, and writer, Caleb Maupin, brings necessary insights for a world searching for a way out of societal decay in the West, and to the underlying causes of the unfolding Eurasian renaissance. In an age cursed by (consider "drowning in") pessimism, City Builders and Vandals in Our Age presents an optimistic view of the potential within technology and the computer revolution. Is a socialist utopia on the horizon, will America recoil from the vandals dragging us back toward fascism, will the future be as bright as Maupin believes is possible? City Builders and Vandals in Our Age points to the answers.

What people are saying:

“Caleb Maupin has crafted an urgent and necessary, both visionary and organic guide for the way forward - a bold and brilliantly conceived blueprint for political and economic rebirth out of the ashes of a decaying capitalist America, in its death throes today.” Prairie Miller, Radio Host for WBAI Art Express

“Maupin offers a surprising historical analysis of modern America, its populist roots, and current political identity crisis. This is a sobering indictment of an American political economy in receivership, unsure how to compete with the emerging tigers of the east. Is there a viable path to economic prosperity and social stability? Whether you’re a capitalist, communist, socialist or even a free-market libertarian, you’ll want to read this thought-provoking book.” Patrick Henningsen, founder 21st Century Wire

“Caleb’s latest work probes some of the contradictions presented in today’s world with a perspective that is both well-grounded in classic Marxist theory and well-informed by the experiences of Marxists who have actually governed and done so successfully. He applies the rich scientific theory of Marx to modern, living reality at a time when much of what passes for a Left in the US, mired in dogma, seems unable to provide even an outline of a working analysis of the present.” Don Debar, Radio Host, CPRMetro

“Capitalism is a diseased and decaying system where the force of the police state and military must be now fully deployed to maintain it. The rich are getting richer and we poor are getting poorer. A socialist planned economy which ensures that 100% of the people have equal footing and opportunity is the way forward. The demise of capitalism will also guarantee the end of empire. Caleb’s book is an important contribution to this desperately needed discussion.” Cindy Sheehan Executive Director of Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox
