DESCRIPTION:Cartoonist/columnist Ted Rall has produced the book he was always meant to 
 write: a new manifesto for an America heading toward economic and political 
 collapse. While others mourn the damage to the postmodern American 
 capitalist system created by the recent global economic collapse, Rall sees 
 an opportunity. As millions of people lose their jobs and their homes, they 
 and millions more are opening their minds to the possibility of creating a 
 radically different form of government and economic infrastructure.\nBut 
 there are dangers. As in Russia in 1991, criminals and right-wing 
 extremists are best prepared to fill the power vacuum from a collapsing 
 United States. The best way to stop them, Rall argues, is not 
 collapse—but revolution. Not by other people, but by us. Not in the 
 future, but now. While it’s still possible.\n***\nRall’s cartoons now 
 appear in more than 100 publications around the United States, including 
 the Los Angeles Times, Tucson Weekly, Pasadena Weekly, Washington Post, and 
 New York Times.\nRall considers himself a neo-traditionalist who uses a 
 unique drawing style to revive the aggressive approach of Thomas Nast, who 
 viewed editorial cartoons as a vehicle for change. His focus is on issues 
 important to ordinary working people—he keeps a sign asking “What do 
 actual people care about?” above his drafting table—such as un- and 
 underemployment, the environment and popular culture, but also comments on 
 political and social trends. Check him out at
