Reviews

[James Williams]

Paul Zane Pilzer opened my mind with this book to the notion of abundance in God's world, not of the scarcity concepts that were inculcated in my youth and high school education.

Paul uses wonderful examples and stories to drive his point home, and teaches as few can, with wit and plenty of facts and figures, how God has created for us, not a world of scarcity that we must all fight over, but one of abundance, where there is enough, and to spare.

[Bianca McCormick-Johnson]

This book was very informational yet antiquated. Nevertheless, I understand that the author's theories were based on evidence of a previous era and historical research. I believe most of the principles can still apply today, but I think too much damage has already been done. Currently, we have an ignorant president, intransigent government, and shady investors. I've always believed that there were enough resources on the planet to distribute evenly, but the loaf in America has never and will never be divided that way. Overall, great read because it really makes you look at the economy from a different vantage point.

Just so everyone is on the same page, this should be required reading. Especially since the author wrote it 30 years ago and was right.

[Mark Wolf]

Truly transformative. Once you understand that so-called "resources" as well as wealth and the economy as a whole is NOT a zero sum game, nor fixed nor finite, it changes everything.

People can stop with the envy and whining about how much wealth other people have, it makes NO difference in how much YOU can have. Your compensation is based on how much you bless your fellow man with value, and it's not limited by what other people have or don't have.

FASCINATING

[Musti]

The ideas are pretty interesting, yet a huge part of the book seems outdated to me. The examples used to describe the ideas are not really relevant anymore, unfortunately.

[Matthew Shaffer]

Good theory about technology and financial "alchemy". Quite outdated, but much proved correct.

[Igor]

Excellent!

[Mir Shahzad]

Good Book!

[Daniel Hirsch]

This is recommended in Tony Robbins: Awaken the Giant Within

[Kurt]

A very enlightening declaration of the reality that demand will not find a roof as long as we continue to improve in production efficiency. While some resources are limited and "scarce," which resources we USE changes, so there really isn't such a scarcity. Saltpeter is not important to us, while oil is now incredibly important (just in the past 200 years).

The reality that supply is virtually unlimited and demand is something you CREATE in all cases except survival elements (food, warmth, etc.) predicates that unlimited wealth is available provided we continue to expand our production efficiency.

[Dave]

One of the few books that drastically changed the way I view the political world. From immigration, health care, education, etc. The first 50 pages can be a bit boring to get through, but after that it's a fascinating read. I'd recommend it to everyone.

[Tyler]

Awesome book!

[Lonnieandmelanie Wibberding]

Good basic economics book. Difficult to read at times, but bordering on the edge of genius.

[Shawn Derrick]

amazing book. One of my favorites. probably top 10.

[Darcy Bellows-Mascorro]

The author explains that it is our thinking that limits our reality. I really enjoyed this book. There is enough pie when you trust it to be so.

[Lorena]

Fascinating read by a great modern thinker.
