Subject: King's Books, UFPPC
Description: From the dust jacket: "*The Limits of Power* identifies a profound triple crisis facing America today: the economy, in remarkable disarray, can no longer be fixed by relying on expansion abroad; the government, transformed by an imperial presidency, is a democracy in form only; the nation's involvement in endless wars, driven by a deep infatuation with military power, has been a catastrophe for the body politic. These pressing problems threaten us all, Republicans and Democrats. If the nation is to solve its predicament, it will need the revival of a distinctly American approach: the neglected tradition of realism."

Subject: King's Books, UFPPC
Description: Antonia Juhasz, a leading international trade and finance policy expert, will talk about her new book The Tyranny of Oil. The hardest-hitting exposé of the oil industry in decades, this book investigates the true state of the US oil industry. With virtually unparalleled global power, the industry wields influence over elected officials, has a lack of regulatory oversight, and hides its business dealings from the public. The Tyranny of Oil offers both a new take on problems and a new set of solutions as Juhasz puts forward an immediate call to action and formula for reining in the industry, its governmental lobbying power, environmental destruction, and violence while reducing global dependence on oil. The event is sponsored by United for Peace of Pierce County.
