Problems with article[edit]

There are several problems with this article:

It lacks sources
It mostly reads as a commercial for 'Rescue America: Our best America is only one generation away'. If the term is so widespread as to merit a wikipedia article, it should certainly be possible to create a more balanced article with multiple sources, instead of dedicating 2/3 of the article to a book which didn't even coin the term.
Sentences like "Morris, who has been a careful reader of Thorstein Veblen, particularly Veblen's masterpiece" are not NPOV. "Careful reader", "masterpiece" are both subjective, not objective
