    <body><![CDATA[This book is just like his 20/20 specials.  Stossel's message is well-illustrated with lots of stories.  He skewers those on the political left (e.g. Ralph Nader and Democrats) and sometimes the right as well (Donald Trump and big corporations).  It's very much a libertarian take in favor of free ma...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66283179">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a quick read.  I enjoyed Stossel's conversational tone and his no-nonsense way of addressing the issues.  And in general I agree that government needs to shrink, lawsuits need to be reduced, and there's no virtue in being a victim.
