The Super Race: An American Problem

"The Super Race: An American Problem" by Scott Nearing is a book that explores the idea of creating a better society in America through eugenics, social changes, and education. Nearing looks at improving people by carefully choosing who has children and by making society a place that helps people grow. He also talks about how education can help people reach their full potential. Nearing believes America has focused too much on getting rich and not enough on helping people become the best they can be. He uses examples from history and different areas to show how important it is for everyone to work together to raise a generation with strong bodies, minds, and morals, which he calls the Super Race. He thinks America is special because it has many different kinds of people and plenty of resources, so it has a real chance to make this vision a reality, encouraging people to think hard about what the future of humankind could look like.
