(Belcrest Press) In this work, DeLong uses new historical evidence on the American Revolution to redefine it from a 21st century vantage point. In addition to a thorough philosophical analysis of the Revolution, the author presents a model for political reform today based on an integration of mathematics, science, and the arts into government.
