Abstract:
"The most significant change was the updating of the book to include a lengthy chapter on film in the second decade of the 21st century. The book will encompass among other subjects: an analysis of Obama, the man and his policies; Hillary Clinton's stunning defeat by Donald J Trump; the state of the economy slowly recovering from the 2008's devastating recession; and the rise and fall of the Arab Spring and the growth of Islamist terrorism. In addition, we explore the state of the film industry, including its facing competition from cable television's high quality series, and the continuing development of technologies like Netflix and Hulu that stream films making it harder to attract film audiences.
