Essential reading. August 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For the past several years, I have made it my goal to understand the political system in this country. During that time I have gotten a much better understanding of how our economy really works, the role of the corporate world in influencing US policy, and the methods of influencing public perception. What I have come to accept as the truth about the power structure in the US isn't always pretty. But it is consistent with what I see going on around me.
I NEVER thought I would hear a politician of any kind actually tell the truth about where we are as a country, how we got here, and how we can steer ourselves onto a better course. Ron Paul does just that. For anyone interested in cutting through the spin and illusionary choices in our two party political system...this is a must read.

 A dream world that could neverthless hurt us August 24, 2008
1 out of 12 found this review helpful
It would be wonderful to have our country governed by the Austrian School rules. Oh if it was only that simple! Big Government and high taxes would wither away. The dollar would stop inflating. It would be as good as gold. And miraculously employment would stay consistently high. This would be ideal indeed. But what about the realities we face in this world. We have big enemies and thus we need a powerful government to protect us. A flawed gold standard was a major cause of The Great Depression (creeping inflation hurts the poor less). A serious attempt to fully implement the ideas in this book would be a disaster. Fortunately, however, the real world of practical politics and sensible policies soundly rejected the author's dream world in the primaries. That, however, does not mean that the Ron Paul faithful believers are harmless. The Ron Paulians could put Obama in the White House by taking Nevada, for example, away from McCain. Talk about Big Government and High Taxes, Obama and his crew could set new records. Voting for a dream world that never was and never will be could have nasty unintended consequences in the real world.

Thank you Ron Paul for this work. I urge everyone to read this book. I suspect that one could read this entire work with 2 days!
An honest citizen in Congress August 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
the straight story from one of the few that actually read what is presented for voting, and paying out your current taxes and your promised taxes that your children will pay. If we have arrived at the money crisis of the century then I want advice from an honest citizen versus 'Buy an SUV' because it's good for the economy.
