[EAN: 9781790376803], Neubuch, [PU: Independently Published, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. Finding Jerusalem by MJ Macfarlane is a light-hearted and humorous travelogue in which author MJ Macfarlane draws from his British working class roots whilst experiencing the nations who are pioneering a better future for their populations. It charts a journey through the remarkable and the absurd whilst also unearthing some of the sinister aspects of would-be alternatives to Western-style liberal democracy.Whether he is conforming to the strict rules for ascending a mountain in China, being arrested as a British spy in Russia, or deciding that Neapolitan driving and Scottish 'crack' each deserve to be given UNESCO World Intangible Heritage status; MJ Macfarlane gently teases out the characteristics of some of the possible contenders for the title of the world's "next No.1 nation" whilst bemoaning the inability of Great Britain and the United States to play leading roles in pioneering this brave new world.Finding Jerusalem illuminates readers on a journey that starts in the prosperous United Arab Emirates before exploring the extremes of the old and the new in modern-day China and the immovable resolve of Russian values; as well as the highly-ritualised society of Japan and the uniquely-successful city-states of Singapore and Hong Kong; and asks whether the "next No.1 nation" might not be geographical, but an esoteric 'mind nation' borne from the West Coast USA and built on the promise of technology to improve humanity?Through adventures that include failing to become aroused by ancient rock drawings, being killed by the kindness of the effusive hospitality of his Japanese hosts and absconding from the custody of security guards in Singapore; and always with an eye on history and the lessons on the past, MJ Macfarlane concludes that human beings currently exist amidst an unprecedented nexus of opportunities to improve the human experience and to create better life outcomes for future generations, but that this can only be shaped for good by the values that Great Britain and the United States have long stood for and defended. Through the medium of travel, MJ Macfarlane encourages readers to escape from the assumptions of everyday reality and to question the conventional wisdom of the status quo to illuminate the inherent flaws in the old systems that have been carried over into the modern world; and concludes by proposing some bold new policy ideas to spread the gift of better life outcomes in his native country of Great Britain.<
