Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America's Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity
Thirty years of telling Americans they don't need families, communities, or a shared history is destroying what made our country the envy of the world.
While many Americans have worried about China, open borders, opioids, failing communities, and families in crisis, our elites have told us that's all fine because it's not only inevitable; it's for the best.
Every part of our nation is now in decline, and it's all connected.
In Decades of Decadence, Marco Rubio exposes the elites' attacks on the four key elements of American strength: good local jobs, stable families, geographical communities, and a sovereign nation that serves as a beacon of freedom and prosperity. These have been eroded not only by globalization, but by the lies we tell ourselves, including, "Anyone who loves each other is a family," "Real community can be found on the internet," and "We're all citizens of the world."
It's not too late to reject these errors. America remains a powerful and wealthy nation, built on timeless truths ingrained in the very creation of mankind. But we cannot afford another misguided and decadent decade. In this book, Rubio shows how we can avoid another dark age and restore America's place as the global ideal of harmony, opportunity, and democracy.

I bought the audio book. I can’t stop listening. It is an incredible resource. Full of facts and valuable insights and information, it should be required in universities and colleges. If you want to understand the reasons our country is failing economically and socially this book is a must read.

Have not read the Rubio book, yet. However, I have been reading all Robert Reich books about the same topic. Reich is a professor and economist at UC Berkeley who has been writing on this subject in great detail but easily understood style for years. He speaks with an economics professor’s expertise and a citizen’s concern about how the economy of the U.S. has been taken over and reconstructed for corporate profit. As I watched Rubio on CBS Morning, I wanted to ask if he’d read the Reich books. I’ll read Rubio, but only to answer how an avowed Republican can adopt liberal concepts as his own.
