Book excerpt: At the beginning of the 21st Century, the United States of America is the only super-power on Earth, and is the latest of many societies and civilizations to rise to unprecedented levels of power and wealth. None of those past societies were able to extend, or even maintain, their successes. There were many reasons for their declines, and one underlying cause that began the process. America is no exception. America faces a fork in the road to the future. America's choice will largely determine the fate of humanity. Ending Entrenched Power takes a new and ambitious approach to humanity's problems and opportunities. Using human society's primary institutions, religion, government and commerce for a framework, it links spiritual life and political conduct. Today, modern societies, in a desire to politically unite people of different faiths, divorce religion from government. These governments become amoral institutions focused on power and bureaucracy. The challenge for future leaders is to unite people through the spiritual principles common to all religions. The result will be religions, governments and economies that serve the best interests of societies as they proceed towards the destiny of humanity.
