Williams once again takes on the left wing's most sacred cows with provocative insights and brutal honesty. He offers his sometimes controversial views on education, health, the environment, government, law and society, race, and a range of other topics, always with an uncompromising reverence for personal liberty and the principles laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.</p> <br><br></p>Do we want socialized medicine? Do peace treaties produce peace? What's wrong with education? What's discrimination? Do we really care about children? Is this the America we want? Williams answers these and other provocative questions with his usual unflinching candor. Although many of these thoughtful, hard-hitting essays focus on the growth of government and our loss of liberty, many others demonstrate how the tools of freemarket economics can be used to improve our lives in ways ordinary people can understand&#151;not just in the realm of trade and the cost of goods and services but in such diverse areas as racial discrimination, national defense, and even marriage.</p><br><br><p>Walter E. Williams is the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University and a nationally syndicated columnist.</p> 4545879 26 9 2008 Liberty versus the Tyranny of Socialism: Controversial Essays total:4|5:2|4:1|3:1| 4 17 39 2 5 0 false false Mon Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 06:47:45 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 06:48:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Mar 12 00:04:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 20:29:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 06:49:48 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 06:49:48 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 29 10:11:46 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 10:11:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 22 21:00:13 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 21:00:13 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Sep 19 14:36:55 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 14:36:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 13:57:31 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 13:57:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 11:46:19 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 11:46:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 23 06:13:14 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 06:13:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 16 20:47:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 20:47:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 24 14:29:28 -0700 2009 Sun May 24 14:29:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 08 20:48:22 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 18:11:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 08 15:00:50 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 15:00:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 08 05:30:02 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 05:30:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 28 19:30:01 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 19:30:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 23 18:06:26 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 18:06:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Apr 23 17:55:51 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 17:56:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 21 21:27:26 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 21:27:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 30 21:20:41 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 21:20:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 28 11:54:05 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 11:54:05 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4496909
