The Capitalist Manifesto: Johann Norberg

An astoundingly thorough defense of free markets. The acuity of the reasoning, the evidence Norberg presents and the analysis of recent world economic history is unparalleled. If you are at all open to facts and reasoning, this will open your eyes to the truth of what works and what does not. I only wish leaders from both parties would give it a read.

Alas, I fear that most people are immune to empirical evidence and sound reasoning. I'm finding more and more that we have become rigid ideologues and believe what makes us comfortable to believe. Any facts to the contrary are ignored or dismissed as partisan propaganda.

I fear it will lead to the death of this country. And without United States leadership, we head toward Armageddon.

I hope with all my heart that I am wrong.
