  • Readers will be able to differentiate between what has and what has not worked in economics and public policy throughout history. I explain the effects of the Great Depression and how it relates to our financial crisis today.
  • Understand that protectionism hurts everyone. It creates shortages and increases prices. Historically, when then goods can’t cross borders armies will. Free trade means peace: you don’t wage war on your customers.
  • No nation has ever turned to the printing press with desired results.
  • The two biggest expenses for business are payroll and taxes. If the government raises taxes – then businesses will cut their payroll.
  • Health care, tariffs, Cap and Trade and  increased taxes is the recipe for a jobless recovery; just like the Great Depression. The New Deal failed, this book proves it.
