Thank you for considering the purchase of my book. Some of its main themes are as follows: Is America really a socialist country? You may be surprised by the answer of an old-fashioned liberal. I kw I was. How does the free market ecomy of our Founding Fathers stack up against the free market ecomy of today? Is Obamacare really necessary? How deep is the 'health-care-crisis'? How many years have American hourly wages been stagnant: 20, 30, 40? These and a variety of other questions are addressed in a straight-forward manner in it. Some of the other questions include: What brought on the Great Recession? Was it just George W. Bush? How does Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' work? Or does it? What is 'supply-side' ecomic theory? Does it really work? Why is our ecomic recovery so slow? What are dynamic equilibrium and ecomic momentum - and why do we need to understand them? This book is the result of wide-ranging research through a variety of historical and contemporary sources. A small sampling includes Adam Smith, The Federalist, Alexis de Tocqueville, Alan Greenspan and the data banks of several government agencies. Finally, what you read here is documented clearly to facilitate your careful evaluation and verification.
