Synopsis
This is a special edition to put the power of multinational advanced evolution science behind the American election and presidency of Barack Obama. Documenting the global gains from an American shift from regressive to progressive leadership, Bankrolling Evolution: A Program for a President is a special edition of a report drawing on the work of the multinational General Evolution Research Group prepared for the Darwin Project Council of over 50 leading American, European, and Asian scientists and educators. Part I lays bare what's gone wrong with a powerful diagnosis of the persisting threat of the pathology of regressive leadership, enablers, followers, and money that financed the multi-billion-dollar rightwing seizure of America. Part II tracks how and why this happened within the context of the historic worldwide rise of hope for the American dream and revolution---in sharp contrast to the drive backward pushed to fearful extremes during the Bush years. Part III explores how recapturing the vision of real power to the people can transcend division, forge a new alliance of thinking and caring Americans, and spread new hope, respect, and trust rather than fear, environmental devastation, and nuclear proliferation globally. Part IV shows how with progressive leadership and a new measure and science of global healing we can prevent the return---otherwise potentially much worse next time---of what like the spread of a deadly illness periodically seizes whole nations to block and drive us backward in evolution. Bankrolling Evolution provides a dramatic look at the different kind of future offered by the power of progressive science, a new investment in moral evolution, and the global prospect for an Obama American presidency. Director of research and author of the report, psychologist and pioneering evolutionary systems scientist David Loye, is the former Research Director for the Program on Psychosocial Adaptation and the Future, Neuropsychiatric Institute, UCLA Scho
