Synopsis

This book offers a whimsical yet skeptical look at California, presented as a direct response to the bestselling 'What's the Matter with Kansas?'. Through an anecdotal survey, it critiques the nation's most liberal and populous state. The author likens California to an American Rome, characterized by over-indulgence and excessive regulation, ultimately failing to live up to its own ideals.
