Reviews of America 3.0

Michael Barone does a summary review of America 3.0: Rebooting American Prosperity in the 21st Century - Why America's Greatest Days Are Yet to Come by James Bennett and Michael Lotus. He likes most of what he sees, the review is for RealClearPolitics.

Another columnist I like, Glenn Harlan Reynolds (aka Instapundit) does a similarly positive write-up of the book for USA Today. I think what appeals to both reviewers is that the book is positive in its outlook, not doom and gloom.

Authors Bennett and Lotus are both active in the Anglosphere movement, people who see the English-speaking nations taking the world lead in the 21st century. That viewpoint is clearly part of why they believe "America's Greatest Days Are Yet to Come."

On the other hand, this review of America 3.0 by "Hamilton" for Breitbart Big Peace is quite negative, and he (or she?) makes good points too. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
