America's Counterfeit Democracy: Rule of the Power Elite
The billionaires control our government—we don't.
Over the past few decades, powerful elites have taken control of the federal government leveraging it to further their objectives: amassing wealth and maintaining stability in America. In the current state of affairs, the public finds itself without any means or influence to shape government decisions.
America’s Counterfeit Democracy: Rule of the Power Elite, has quickly risen to prominence in political literature and debuted at #1 in Social Theory, #2 in Political Parties, and #2 in Political Philosophy. In this politically charged era, author, historian, and political analyst, Michael C. Anderson, delves into how the political rights of the public have been sidelined in pursuit of elite goals.
Dissecting political behavior to help us all.
If you like cozy evenings reading about history, debating politics, delving into what makes people "tick," or just want to understand how civilization has gotten to this point, you'll enjoy Michael C. Anderson's books and blog.

This is a time of disagreement and polarization in American politics caused by an exaggerated focus on the extreme ends of the political spectrum by the 24-hour news media and the Internet. My mission is to expose this false reality for what it is.

01
Degraded Standard of Journalism
Recent behavior of the 24-hour news media and the Internet has caused journalistic standards to sink to a new low in the United States. Respect for institutions and individuals is non-existent as the media fights over viewership.
02
Broken Political System
Our political system is polarized and ideology is given a higher priority than the interests and needs of the American people. Moreover, politicians are in the pockets of lobbyists and special interest groups who have an outsized influence on their votes.
03
The Solution
The only way to fix this problem is to ignore the rants of the news media and evaluate what we're getting out of our government. If our representatives don't work for us, we need to make changes.
Other Books By Michael C. Anderson
The Progressive Gene, How Genetics Influences the Morality of the Left (2017)
Fuses the idea of a universal, genetically determined personal and social morality with the expression of that morality in the individual's political philosophy. Although this connection extends to and encompasses all of society, the book focuses on the left side of the political spectrum where the Progressives reside. The left exemplifies the moral foundations of caring and fairness. They dislike capitalism and want American society to achieve equality. This book will teach you how the left thinks, why they have the political views they do, and what their goals are for American society. The great historical accomplishment of the progressive left was their 19th-century agitation against political corruption and worker exploitation in America.
Tribalism: The Curse of 21st Century America (2019)
Analyzes the current tribal state in the United States, which began in the 21st-Century. Several factors have contributed to this problem, including the left's search for a new ideology after the failure of Socialism, the emergence of postmodernism as a philosophical system that divides, the erosion of moral traditions, and the polarization of politics. These forces, acting together, create instability and uncertainty in our political system. Its is essential that the American people unite against this curse and defeat it. This book will teach you about tribalism: what it is, where it came from, and where it's going. You will understand possible ways to defeat tribalism and why getting the American public to talk again is vital.
The Conservative Gene, How Genetics Shape the Complex Morality of Conservatives (2021)
Describes the influence of genetics on the moral behavior of those on the right of the political spectrum. Conservatives possess a morality unique from liberals and progressives, who seek to discard tradition and make rapid societal changes. Conservatives view rapid change as dangerous because it causes cultural disruption and involves the pursuit of impractical ideas. Conservatives value tradition and advocate a careful adoption of change based on maintaining the institutions that protect society against chaos. These institutions include family, social community, religious community, and respect for the country. This book will familiarize you with how conservatives think and what motivates them. You will understand how they use traditions to control the rate of change in human society.
Twilight of the American Experiment, Without Moral Balance Our Republic Will Fall (2023)
Recounts how the left dominates the culture and communication systems. The United States became a new nation modeled on freedom of speech and a person's right to express opinions. The left controls academia, the cultural narrative, traditional media, and social media and uses them to paint American traditions as evil and corrupt. The balance between different views has become disrupted by the political left, which wishes to impose its ideology on the rest of us. This book will explain the left’s strategy to create equality through the implementation of socialist political system, how they promote the benefits of rebuilding the American government, and work to tear down the traditions that have been in place since America was founded.
