Reviewer Comment - This is one of the most important books
on the radical progressive agenda. It is all the more significant because the
focus is on a relatively little known but far- reaching objective. And the
agenda is hidden from public view by use of a variety of confusing terms. It
combines the objectives of the egalitarians and environmentalists. The radical
egalitarians seek all possible means to reduce the practical results of
differences in wealth. A favorite method of course is to tax wealth to
re-distribute it to the 'poor'. In this case that will be accomplished by
forcing the residents of suburbs to shift real estate taxes to the central
cities. The environmentalists seek to eliminate what they call 'sprawl' that is
expansion of homes and businesses out of central cities. They seek to eliminate
any perceived advantages families might have by living in suburbs. Both groups
and liberal politicians also want to increase the density of populations in
cities and reduce it outside cities as a means of easier control of voters.

Mr. Kurtz describes President Obama's career from its
earliest days in Chicago and names the many individuals who were his mentors
and promoters in the broad Alinstyite movement. He has organized the content to
show the close and continuous ties between Obama and the leaders of the
'regionalization' effort. Obama has been a major leader in this movement since
early in his career in Chicago and the Alinskyite leaders have been major
supporters of his political advancement.
