From the Paper:

"Additionally, the book can be declared as a sober assessment of the hazards of the era in which everyone lives, but of course with a hope. According to the author a nation with more memories and less dreams is in problem. As an example, he reminded America was once known by the world as a nation of dream creation and realization (Zakaria, 2005). But after the politics of post 9-11 America has wiped out much of that impression. However, it is not too late to change track to reinstate the focus on dreams and on future but the decision and action should be taken now (Jones, 2005). "
