    <body><![CDATA[This book was assigned for Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism taught at Loyola University Chicago during the first semester of 1981/82.

    <body><![CDATA[So far, I'm better understanding why we are confused as we are about fundamental economic principles.  We keep adding government spending to squelch our economic woes, not realizing we are just compounding them and destroying our children's economic future.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Phenomenal treatise on the power of free markets, and the impact of government intervention.  Sadly, many of the examples outlined in the book could be written today with the only change being massive increases in the amount of dollars involved.]]></body>
