THE AGE OF BIDEN
BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
THE AGE OF BIDEN by George
Liebmann
Published January 20, 2025
Amazon.com Paperback $25.00; Kindle $9.99
This is a collection of more than a hundred op-ed pieces and letters on public affairs
written during the Biden administration, 2020-2024. It is followed by an appreciation
of Jefferson’s contribution to the American polity, unacknowledged in recent years. It
is a sequel to a previous volume, Vox Clamantis In Deserto (2021) covering the four
previous failed national administrations, those of Presidents Clinton, Bush (Jr.),
Obama, and Trump. My political stance is not one that commends itself to either of
today’s contending factions, since I dislike bellicosity, plutocracy, and
permissiveness. Foreign policies that generate millions of refugees are not to be
excused on the basis of limited American casualties, nor can I overlook the
proletarianization of the American work force, including the professions, or the
diminution of personal character and insecurity resulting from extreme permissiveness
in morals, ultimately affecting the quality of our national leadership.
