It is time to start thinking.\"-Sir Ernest Rutherford, winner of the Nobel Prize in Nuclear Physics \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime to Start Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e is a book destined to spark debate among liberals and conservatives alike. Drawing on his decades of exceptional journalism and his connections within Washington and around the world, Luce advances a carefully constructed and controversial argument, backed up by interviews with many of the key players in politics and business, that America is losing its pragmatism - and that the consequences of this may soon leave the country high and dry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLuce turns his attention to a number of different key issues that are set to affect America's position in the world order: the changing structure of the US economy, the continued polarization of American politics; the debilitating effect of the \"permanent election campaign\"; the challenges involved in the overhaul of the country's public education system; and the health-or sickliness-of American innovation in technology and business. His conclusion, \"An Exceptional Challenge\" looks at America's dwindling options in a world where the pace is increasingly being set elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Luce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802121438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802121431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Edward Luce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947182948607,"sku":"9780802121431","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_de73a895-672d-4707-ba56-43df5c9f63a6.jpg?v=1681517212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/time-to-start-thinking-edward-luce-9780802121431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
