To thoroughly study Confucius, start by reading this: Wikipedia – Analects. Below is an excerpt.

Three informative readings:
- Governance in China: Past, Present, and Future.
- Governance in America.
- The U.S. vs. China: A Great Experiment vs. A Great Civilization!
America, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (American Democracy – Why is it failing & how to fix it?), or become a fiddle, second to China!
