Aprašymas

A defense of economic freedom from America’s top conservative thinkers—the second book in the PragerU Honest Book series.

Socialist ideas are on the rise. New York City, the seat of the global economy, has an avowedly socialist mayor. The United Kingdom now spends more annually on welfare than it takes in through income taxes. A record number of Americans feel life is unaffordable. Has capitalism failed?

In The Honest Book of Capitalism, America’s top economic experts defend the timeless principles that have created unprecedented freedom and prosperity in societies around the world. Backed by evidence and armed with common sense, they expose the immorality of Marxism and reveal why failed economic policies bankrupt both individuals and nations.

Written in PragerU’s famously accessible style, this volume contains:

• Chapters by world-renowned thinkers including Ben Shapiro, Arthur Brooks, Rachel Cruze, Steve Forbes, Amity Shlaes, Nikki Haley, Michael Shellenberger, Carol Roth, George Will, Walter Williams, and the late Charlie Kirk.
• Rebuttals to common progressive claims like “as the rich get richer, the poor get poorer,” “a higher minimum wage helps low-income workers,” and “the rich need to pay their fair share.”
• Fascinating historical facts and examples, such as why President Hoover failed during the depression, why government-backed solar companies failed while the privately backed transcontinental railroad succeeded, and what the Wright brothers can teach us about innovation.

Economic freedom isn’t a system holding you back; it’s an opportunity to create the life you want. The Honest Book of Capitalism pinpoints where America has gone wrong, and how we can create a more prosperous society for everyone.
