Thomas Huxley has written somewhere: “The great tragedy of science – the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.” This quote came to my mind as I read Vijay V Vaitheeswaran’s Power to the People: How the coming energy revolution will transform an industry, change our lives and maybe even save the planet (2007).

AMERICA ON THE DECLINE – REVIEW OF FRIEDMAN AND MANDELBAUM’S “THAT USED TO BE US”
It was with great relish that I had read Thomas L Friedman’s The World is Flat (2005) a few years ago. His recent book, co-authored with Michael Mandelbaum, and titled That Used to be Us: What went wrong with America – and how it can come back (2011) was equally engrossing.
Prior to reading this book, if you had asked me what is wrong with America, I would have said that America is suffering from an overdose of Keynesian economics. Upon reading this book, however, I find that there are other factors involved too.
