Summary

Out of the shock to the world of the Bush years four questions will for some time to come hammer at us in America and globally. What happened to us? How and why did it happen? What can we do about it? And how on earth?for our children, and our children?s children?s sake?do we keep it from ever happening again? In this report prepared for the Darwin Project Council of over 50 leading American, European, and Asian scientists and educators, the answers unfold out of an unusually powerful and comprehensive probe of causes and cures. Highly credentialed psychiatric profiles not only of G.W.Bush but also his enablers and followers...the multi-billions behind the rightwing seizure of America...the disastrous consequences and other symptoms of what?s gone wrong are laid bare with a deep and wide ranging diagnosis in Part I. Part II tracks how and why this happened within the context of the historic rise of and hope for the American dream and revolution?in sharp contrast to the past's resurgent pathology driven to fearful extremes during the Bush years. Part III explores what we can do about it through the healing force of liberating new ways of political therapy revealed by the potential for a new psychiatry of evolution. Part IV shows how we can prevent the return?potentially worse next time?of what like the spread of a deadly illness periodically seizes people whole nations to block and drive us backward in evolution. In this dramatic look at the race of science to save us before we wipe ourselves out, we see how through use of the science of this historic report we can not only rebuild the American mind, heart, and soul, but also regain a new level of health, well-being, and sanity for the world. Director of research and author of the report, psychologist and evolutionary systems scientist David Loye, is the former Research Director for the Program on Psychosocial Adaptation and the Future, Neuropsychiatric Institute, UCLA School of Medicine. A co-founder of two multinational advanced evolution research groups, Dr.Loye is the award-winning author of The Healing of a Nation. Bankrolling Evolution is the first of six new books for a Darwin Anniversary Book Cycle being published by Benjamin Franklin Press. A companion volume Measuring Evolution: A Leadership Guide to the Health and Wealth of Nations shows how the new Global Sounding measure of global health and wellbeing introduced in Bankrolling Evolution can be used to advance a "healing of the nations." Titles for further books in the new series are Darwin's Lost Theory, Darwin on Love, The Derailing of Evolution, and Telling the New Story.
