Thought Provoking and a Great Read

I highly recommend this book. Personally I have stored my older books by Mises, Hayek, Friedman, etc...away in my basement. Although still on the shelf, even Adam Smith and Ricardo are a bit outdated. Others may still believe in their theories, but I do not.

Essential reading

As much information as I absorb about our state of government, there are still some very broad assumptions which pass under my radar.

However, this situation is at odds with an era that holds democracy to be sacred. Large corporations that draw upon the ideas of an era of aristocratic privilege are contrasted with corporations organized democratically. A secondary...

How capitalism and democracy should work

The Divine Right of Capital expands on a theme that many Leftist writers allude to but rarely explore in depth: the correlation between the profit motive and the co-optation of our democracy by private corporate interests. Inspired by the work of Thomas Paine -- who in an earlier era helped build support for the American Revolution by communicating to ordinary people in clear, uncluttered prose -- Marjorie Kelly makes her...
