A Philosophy for Victory:
Can We Change the Universe?
By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. "Two economic systems have collapsed," he writes. "Russia is now struggling to rebuild itself out of the wreckage left by the collapsed and carpet-bagger-looted Soviet system; the Anglo-American system is now at its fag-end." The crisis has now reached the point that, under President George W. Bush, the world system could not be saved in its present form, even for a relatively short period. "So, today, we are assembled here, under the auspices of the written word, to consider, not whether the continued existence of the United States is still possible; the question is, whether it is possible that the United States might choose the available road to survival. Classical philosophy, properly defined, is the only branch of science in which possible solutions to such a crisis in decision-making can be rationally discussed."
