Ever since Donald Trump became the 2016 Republican presidential nominee, many of us have become obsessed with defeating him, discrediting him, ridding the world of his influence once and for all. While it's an understandable response to a megalomaniac who champions anti-intellectualism and xenophobia, this hyperfocus on one man diverts our attention from a central truth: Trump isn't simply a cause of our country's problems. He's also a symptom. I Am Wealthier than Donald Trump: A World Traveler's Analysis of a Former President challenges us to break away from the kind of dogmatic thinking that enabled Trump's rise to power. Drawn from the lessons of science, history, and philosophy, as well as Wolfgang Golser's experiences beyond the filter bubble of the United States, its insights provide a broader perspective on what's gone wrong in the world-and helps us understand what we can do to make it right.
