The K-12 Implosion

The Coming Collapse of Russia, and What It Means for America
Today, Putin's Russia is fast approaching a social and political crisis--one that promises to be every bit as profound as the fall of the USSR. Author Ilan Berman tackles the crisis that has Russia on the fast track to ruin, and the grave danger Russian collapse poses to America's security, in his new book, "Implosion."
Economist Herb Stein famously said that something that can't go on forever, won't.

Now parents are losing faith in public schools, new alternatives are appearing, and change is on the way. The K-12 Implosion provides a succinct description of what's wrong, and where the solutions are likely to appear, along with advice for parents, educators, and taxpayers.
