Brilliant! Understanding how human energy thrives is the the answer to why socialism is such a dismal failure throughout world history. Henry Grady Weaver teaches concepts that are timeless and, in fact, seem incredibly relevant to today's political discussions.  Everyone should read this along with Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson".

This is a great, modern day summation of what Rothbard, Rockwell and Hayek have been trying to explain.  Essential reading for anyone who still thinks the State is a necessary evil.  Very comprehensive, yet not overwhelming for the casual reader.  Really enjoyed this.

David Icke and Alex Jones do a good job.  This Naomi Wolf did some serious study though and to put Freedom to Fascism into 10 easy to understand steps is fantastic.  What a clear view of our current state of affairs!  If you have any inkling at all you must get this book in any form or even the video and it is imperative you understand the information!  There is a true difference in being a 'U.S. Citizen' under the U.S. Constitution and being a 'Sovereign American' under The Constitution of the United States of America.  This difference came about since the 14th amendment and we all must study this for our handlers who are international bankers have known these facts since their childhood.

A beautiful explanation of where we came from and what it means to be an  American. I absolutely loved this book. I read all of Mr. Levin's books. I majored in political science and history in college and have practiced law for 40 years. I credit Mr levin for educating me in what America is and why I believe what I believe, why I love America, why capitalism and property rights are essential to liberty and why progressives  hate America. God bless you Mr Levin you are a national treasure!

A very scholarly book, but is well-written. I have only read through the section on Socialism and it provides a history of the philosophy of socialism which was very helpful. Sure sets the concept apart from much of the current mis-informed political rhetoric.

Gar has written another great book that any American radical leftist or,progressive should read and study.
There are far more choices than the ugly capitalism we have now and statist instances of attempted socialism culminating in corrupt military dictatorships such as USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, N. Korea, and arguably Vietnam.
Many of Gar's ideas line up with those of economist Dr. Richard Wolff, Kshaha Sawant and others. It's time for a 21st/22nd centuries and beyond socialism.

This book was a tremendous eye opener, showing a prespective I have never personally experienced, only heard of in, very little detail. Ehrenreich's experience as a member of the working poor class involves the reader, facing them with the distress of trying to maintain a decent and healthy life, eat, maintain shelter, all while working two jobs at minimum wage. It is physically impossible, as well as emotionally impossible to live that sort of life style. What is amazing is that the working poor class works harder then the wealthy in America, yet they get treated the worst and paid the least, which is ridiculous. While the Big Boss sits behind his desk, on his lazy @$$ making millions of dollars, ordering people around. Now how does that balance out? Especially when the working poor class can barely afford to live in a rundown house, in the middle of no where, or sometimes even in a motel! This book really makes you want to make a difference in the world, and act upon this never ending issue. I was touched at heart. This book contains moral lessons that will stick with me forever.

Understanding the concepts in this helped write a paper this semester. It also makes me hate socialism and have a better understanding as to why the government's programs keep poor people poor.

Only a communist\socialist would rate this book  1 or 2 stars. If you have any interest in what the leftist bastards have to say about this beloveds county of ours, you have to read Mike latest explosion of words. I recommend this book to every Red Blooded American and with respect to the left or other, give it a read. You may finally feel something that could change your life forever. Life isn't about feelings, its about reactionary truth.
Keep it up Mike

This book helped me understand some really important ideas about economics and I'm thankful to Russ Roberts for writing it.  It contains a valuable dialogue about socialism, capitalism and emergent order.

I plan to read Mr. Robert's other books and his suggested readings about emergent order.

I checked this book out from my local library.

The breath and depth of knowledge about the financial events of our recent history is Amazing! The point is capitalism has not failed,crony capitalism,irresponsible wall street,compromised politicians and complicit fed has created a financial monster which threatens to destroy our

This is a clear and concise moral case for socialism.  Debunks myths and false assertions about both capitalism and socialism.  Im not sure how any rational person wanting a better world could read this book and think our goal should be anything less than a socialist society.  In the United States we supposedly believe in government by and for the people - turns out our version of capitalism is government by and for huge conglomerates and their major stock holders.

Bob Avakian does a wonderful job of summing up the problems with the current state of society, and of explaining the need for a communist revolution. I only dislike the fact that not many people read these types of works (but that has nothing to do with the book). Great read!!

Ayn Rand is right-on... This book perfectly details the inevitable outcome of a leftist society that succumbs to socialist ideals; A society that embraces entitlements, welfare, and the fundamental belief that your wealth is not your own, and that it is your duty to be robbed and plundered for the sake of others.

"Let me give you a tip on a clue to men's characters: the man who' damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it. Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another - their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun."

Incredible timeless analysis of Socialism.  Bastiat really nails where this country is going in 2012.  Everyone should be requiresd to read this book!

Great book. I think socialist really need to study this book, because they have lots of areas that they need to explore and explain if they are to stay relevant. Who knows maybe they will actually see the folley of their belief system after reading this book?
