This is an interpretive essay briefly outlining the subject matter and history of the debates on the Italian language. It proposes not to produce new material, but it is selective, concentrating primarily on the sixteenth century. The study offers a clear revision of the complexity of the question, which was debated for six centuries, and the reasons for its final solution. Two appendices include a chronological table of the major documents used and a listing of notes and citations.

The Coming Collapse of the American Republic draws together extensively-researched details about four threats which are combining to destroy the future for our grandchildren: 1. The incomprehensible debt and unfunded financial liabilities of all levels of government; 2. The threat of uncontrolled, illegal immigration to our economy and culture; 3. The asymmetric war imposed on us by Islamic Jihadists; and, 4. The rise of China as a competitive military and economic power determined to dominate Asia. Taken together, these desperate trends put the survival of America as a united, free and prosperous country in great jeopardy. This short volume lays out the reinforcing nature of these converging disasters, details the existential threat they pose to American liberty, society and culture, and tells us not only how we got in this trap, but what the horror of a collapse will look like. And it offers a long, difficult and rocky path to preserve the country we have known and loved for future generations.
