"The Power of Reason: 1988" is the autobiography of the man who is arguably the most controversial, intriguing, brilliant, and extraordinary American, and world citizen alive today. As LaRouche himself notes: "Since the beginning of the 1984 Presidential campaign, I have been at the center of some among the leading crisis-developments affecting current history, including the Soviet and liberal establishment efforts to destroy the Strategic Defense Initiative." This book was written, in fact, when LaRouche was known most prominently around the world, as the author of what President Ronald Reagan called, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). It was LaRouche's role in convincing the Reagan administration to adopt his plan, that was largely responsible for earning him the hatred of the Anglo-American establishment, including the incoming Bush administration, that led to his unjust indictment and imprisonment which followed. The chapter titles: The Making of an Economist; The Case of Norbert Wiener; The Long-Range Economic Forecast of 1959-1960; Who Is Shooting at Us, and Why?; The Secret of the Twentieth Century; I Keep an Old Promise; The SDI is born; My Marriage to Helga; The Founding of a Colony on Mars.
