This is one man’s opinion about the course of historical events plagued by Greed, Power and Money that caused our country to collapse in many areas like our economy, climate, environment, banking systems and more. A mother and daughter talk about the journey America took until it finally collapsed. What about our trees? What about the forest and what about how we treat farmland, why the use of chemicals and many other questions will be answered within this creative and thought-provoking question and answer time as a bedtime story with a mother and daughter.

The author starts at the beginning when America was new, breaking away from England and having to create an economy and laws of its own. As you read more and understand the discussions they have, the primary focus is on Greed. Americans wanted more and more and just how they attained it, how they depleted resources, how that affected the environment are just some of what the mother explains to her daughter. She explains how banks made and introduced money, lending protocols, debts that were created and even more just why Americans wanted more and more, some wind up with not much and the fact that unemployment went down at a time did not make some happy as it should have.

Lives were affected but most rich Americans were only concerned with making money no matter who was affected in a negative way, the author through the mother explains different definitions related to the economy, how debt is created and the many kinds of loans. 

Everybody was greedy and Americans the author relates were the worst. Using resources faster than the earth could replace them by something like 50 percent. It affected the forests; the world was using up everything too fast and America was way above average not just the forests. Some of the problems came from more energy than the got from good plus Americans were addicted to drubs and drug addiction. Added what about their addiction to oil and the oil crisis. Then adding chemicals to plants when you breed plants to maximize production those plants be as strong as wild plants and bugs and diseases attack them. Chemical companies wanted to make

the chemicals strong but the chemicals were basically poison. The author includes why animals became food and the definition and examples of externalities. According to Americans everything in nature only had value is money could be made form it so cutting down a tree you could sell the wood. Everything was about greed and money. The author includes a discussion about driving cars, horses, nuclear power and using less energy and oil. How did the economy collapse why didn’t American figure it out because the economy had to keep growing but the earth’s resources can’t keep growing which is why they ruined and wrecked the environment. Laws were discussed and the meaning behind by the people and for the people but American was by and far for the rich and the author through their talks elaborated on it in many ways. What us consumerism, why are so many people poor and why did they ban affordable housing was an interesting discussion.
