Quote of the day

It is my prayer that nations will no longer send their young people to fight each other, not even in the name of peace. I do not accept the concept of a war for peace, a "just war," as I cannot accept the concept of "just slavery," "just hatred," or "just racism."

— Thich Nhat Hanh (1926- )

	Thus, whether it happens sooner or whether it happens later, a long-term stagnation, if not decline, in American living standards is inevitable. The cards have already been dealt. And the longer the governing class keeps the game going by bluffing and raising the ante, the larger will be the eventual loss... On our present path, the vast majority of Americans who must work for a living will end up competing with the rest of the world at least in part on the basis of price, that is, the price of their labor... As the Mexicans found out, there will always be someone in the world willing to work for less... Limiting the damage and reversing the downward spiral will require a sea change in the way the American economy has been managed over the last three decades. Building a political climate for that change must begin with a public discussion that makes clear the distinction between the interests of stateless transnational corporations on the one hand and the people whose economic fate is bounded by the nation on the other.

Welcome to BookProject

The BookProject website is a tool for circulating issue-oriented books and DVDs. That is, people can use our website to follow the travels of books and DVDs they circulate among friends and beyond.

Our website also provides an open, non-commercial platform for people to read and post book and DVD reviews.

In addition to our tools for individuals, we provide a chapters feature for groups. Any group of people, such as a group of friends or a community group, can create a private chapter on our website. Within a chapter, the group can maintain a central reading list, exchange book and DVD reviews, and post announcements.

Finally, our website provides a place for groups and individuals to publish reading lists.

All BookProject services are free. We are volunteer-run. We do not sell books (or anything else). We do not accept advertising.

If you are new to BookProject, we invite you to visit our welcome page for an overview of our website and our purpose in creating it.
