The American Dream reloaded.


We need an ethical revolution, not a minor movement.


Are women better leaders and statesmen? Why do we export bombs instead of books? Rey Rodriguez has condensed many casual observations into a political plot and scratched umpteen awful points. Come join his dream of a more peaceful world!


What if?

In his political utopia "She, the President." Rey Rodriguez outlines the extraordinary career of Polly, a person of color who just turned 40 and is elected president of the USA. The improbable happens: based on sweeping public support, an all-encompassing political turnaround is initiated.

Rodriguez's thought experiment exposes the intricate global entanglement of financial policy, politics, the arms industry, and industrial agriculture. The author invokes the dawn of a new age of meaningfulness and juxtaposes the excesses of dog-eat-dog-capitalism with a green revolution that shifts education, sustainability, and humanity into the center of existence.


The english edition contains an extensive glossary, a valuable list for further research and a preface from the author explaining the context of the unfolding events of of late 2020 and early 2021 taking place in the US.
