About the Books
College Mania: Is a University a Doctor?
A bold, research-driven critique of America’s obsession with higher education as a cure-all. Joshua Flapan examines student debt, underemployment, and institutional failure, questioning whether universities truly prepare students for life or merely diagnose problems they cannot heal.

New Direction
The Nonviolent Movement
Present-Day Nonviolent Revolution
America is trapped in endless wars, political scandals, and cultural division. New Direction: The Nonviolent Movement challenges the status quo, arguing that the current system of governance is no longer equipped to meet modern realities.
Through historical insight and global comparisons, Joshua Flapan presents a bold vision for peaceful, constitutional reform. One that replaces dysfunction with accountability and division with dialogue. This is not a call for chaos or violence, but for a nonviolent revolution grounded in law, reason, and democratic consent.
It’s time to move forward.
It’s time for a new direction.
Innocent and Executed
Innocent and Executed’ discusses the wrongful executions of five individuals, possibly in Post-Furman, Georgia, where the death penalty was declared unconstitutional in 1972. These individuals had reasonable doubts in their cases and might not be convicted by a jury today. The 32,000-word book argues that around 591 people have died over 40 years, some of whom may have been innocent, including Carmen Todd Willingham of Texas and possibly Troy Davis of Georgia. It also calls for reforms in the criminal justice system, tackling issues such as jailhouse snitches, witness identification, and the polygraph test. Since the 1970s, the use of the death penalty has declined, and Biden has reduced the sentences of 37 out of 40 death row inmates, excluding those who committed terrorism. Currently, Texas has executed more inmates than the entire populations of Russia and Venezuela combined.
