The Economics Of Freedom: In Defense Of Capitalism - 9781665747684

The United States of America reigns as the most powerful economic nation on the planet. That's because our incredible level of freedom has liberated our creative talents, empowering us to pursue work, innovation, and enterprise. Modern governments, however, have departed from this freedom-embracing principle - and far too many citizens are ready to exchange precious freedom for promised benefits that may or may not appear. In this book, the authors explore the economics of freedom, answering questions such as: - What policies will reduce our ability to maintain our world leadership position? - How are individual freedoms increasingly limited? - What can we do to protect the power, pleasure and benefits of freedom? The authors also delve into the birth of the nation, noting that it's clear that America's founders viewed government as an institution designed to promote life and liberty, not to interfere with it. This is in striking contrast to the view that citizens exist to support and provide government with the resources to do what it wants to do. Discover why capitalism is the soul of America and why we must grasp the impact economic policy has on freedom.
