The Magical Book of Dreams - P1 📖

Tonight’s reading comes from, The New Democracy, by Walter Vrooman. Published in 1897, the book focuses on the events leading up to the U.S Presidential election in the year 1900. While I don’t have a personal allegiance to any political party in U.S politics, it’s interesting to see the similarities between what’s happening today, and what was taking place 120 years ago.<br><br>If you do find the podcast beneficial, there is a small but hugely helpful favour that you can provide.
