Synopsis

The challenges of the 21st Century are great, says Newt Gingrich, but so are the opportunities. The decisions we make over the next years will determine our future. And no book can be more important for making the right choices than Newt Gingrich's national bestseller Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America.

In the twenty-first century, America could be destroyed.

The dangers are manifold: Terrorism. Judges who think they're God (and who are anti-God). Rising economic challenges from China and India. Immigrants and young Americans who know little about American history and values. Can America survive? Yes, says Newt Gingrich, and we as Americans can do more: We can create a safer, more prosperous, and healthier America for our children and grandchildren. How? By enacting a 21st Century Contract with America.

When he was Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich issued his first Contract with America. What was the result? Sweeping reform that shocked Washington and spurred an economic recovery for the nation, including: the first major tax cut in sixteen years; real, lasting welfare reform; and four years of balanced budgets. But the challenges now are even starker, and Newt is back with a plan for American greatness.

Over a decade has elapsed since The Contract With America catapulted Newt Gingrich to the forefront of American political discussion and the Republican Party into control of both houses of Congress.

Goodreads review by Bernard on March 31, 2011

I like the Newt. He's clear in his message. His American Revolution books are amazing! Besides that, the problems he outlines in the book are the exact same ones that I've been learning about watching Glenn Beck for the last few years. His solutions are not complex but will rock the Progressives on......more
