"This is a book for all ages. It covers a breathtaking swath of
American history in a way that should interest young adults and
mature readers. In today's hyper-partisan environment, it was
wonderful to read an objective, fact-based narrative of American
presidential history. It is destined to become a veritable "go to"
source to learn about U.S. presidents."
*Vikas Mittal, Ph.D., J. Hugh Liedtke Professor of Marketing, Jones
Graduate School of Business, Rice University, Houston, TX*
"David Schein has articulated the concerns that many Americans have
been thinking for many years, especially since the 2006
presidential election. That is, the United States has been in a
sharp and grave decline from its world leadership role for the
better part of 50 to 100 years. In The Decline of
America, Schein offers an in-depth evaluation of every
American president for the last 100 years and gives them each a
grade, most of which are barely passing. In doing so, he uncovers
underlying themes that have contributed to the decline we are now
experiencing. He also provides a prescription for returning the
country to its rightful world leadership role, which includes
asking Americans to better educate themselves on the issues, not as
the pundits, political consultants, and candidates spin them, but
based on their own objective and non-partisan research and
experience. Reading Dr. Schein's book is a huge first step in that
process."
*James D. Phillips Pd.D. J.D., Associate Dean, School of
Management, Marist College*
"While The Decline of America offers a historical
perspective of the presidency and the men who have occupied it for
the last century, it also serves as a precursor to what we might
expect from Oval Office inhabitants in years and generations to
come. Schein's look backward...can shed light on what we, our
children, and our grandchildren might have in store."
*Ed Barks, President, Barks Communications*
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Decline of America: 100
Years of Leadership Failures. Based on performances and not
popularity polls, Dr. Schein has assigned a grade for each
president that represents an overall evaluation on their ethics and
leadership. The recommendations for correcting the problems in the
U.S. are clear and insightful. This remarkable book will help the
reader with a new view of the last 100 years of U.S.
presidents."
*Wei Song, Ph.D., Professor of Marketing, School of Business, Black
Hills State University*
"The book gives a vivid picture of US presidents during the last
100 years and examines two important aspects of the
presidents—their leadership decisions and their ethical
orientation. The author is contributing to the field of research of
the social, political, and economic systems around the world.
Socially, the author has brought up the responsibility of
presidency from the perspective of ethics and leadership.
Politically, the author has brought out the failures of presidents
from the angle of the US political system. Economically, the author
has shown the municipal bankruptcies as a warning signal. I would
recommend that my students in China read the book to broaden their
vision of US society."
*Crystal Feng, Associate Professor, International College of
Business and Technology, Tianjin University of Technology, Tianjin,
