A Second American Century: Getting Back to Our Roots

$19.99

COMING SPRING 2027

Can America reclaim the principles that made its first century of global leadership possible-and secure a second?

As the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, the nation stands at a crossroads. Political division, mounting national debt, expanding federal bureaucracy, and shifting global alliances threaten the foundations of the American Republic. Can America rediscover the principles that once made it a global leader?

In A Second American Century: Getting Back to Our Roots, John Whitmore Jenkins draws on more than five decades of international business experience, firsthand encounters with the Cold War, and a lifetime of observing America's political and economic evolution to examine how the nation arrived at this critical moment.

Blending historical perspective, personal experience, and provocative political analysis, Jenkins challenges the expansion of federal power, questions the direction of American leadership, and offers a vision for restoring government accountability, strengthening economic independence, and adapting America's global strategy to the realities of the twenty-first century.

The American experiment has endured for 250 years. Whether it thrives for another century may depend on what Americans choose to do next.

AUTHOR BIO

John Whitmore Jenkins brings nearly six decades of business experience and firsthand insight into some of the most consequential economic, technological, and geopolitical transformations in modern American history. After earning an engineering degree from Texas A&M University, he served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command before receiving his MBA from Harvard Business School. He joined IBM during the early expansion of business computing and later spent thirty years in an industry closely connected to China's emergence as a global economic power.

Jenkins is an invited member of the CO2 Coalition and serves as a policy advisor to the Heartland Institute's Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy. Drawing on his extensive professional experience and historical perspective, he examines the challenges facing the United States and the principles he believes are essential to securing America's future.
