Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse In discussions of today's economic meltdown and what to do about it, the Federal Reserve is a stealth helicopter: it never shows up on the radar. With the exception of a few esoteric specialists and those Ron Paul Revolutionaries who burst into chants of "Abolish the Fed!" Historian Thomas Woods notes in this important book, the Federal Reserve bears a large part of the blame for the mess we're in. In the first part of "Meltdown," Woods shows how both in theory and in practice, Fed policy fueled an artificial boom and is now leading us to a much larger meltdown.
| How Capitalism Saved America This book is an excellent presentation on the problems of government 'regulations' into free market mechanisms. This book illustrates simply and clearly how many chaotic economic problems were caused by interference from government regulations and how capitalism has overcome them. Master this book and you have overcome most of the bad economic thinking of our time. Government is the cause of capitalism failure.
| Gold: The Once and Future Money Governments and central bankers around the world today unanimously agree on the desirability of stable money, ever more so after some monetary disaster has reduced yet another economy to smoking ruins. Lewis shows how gold provides the stability needed to foster greater prosperity and productivity throughout the world. He offers an insightful look at money in all its forms, from the seventh century B.C. to the present day, explaining in straightforward layman’s terms the effects of inflation, deflation, and floating currencies along with their effect on prices, wages, taxes, and debt. The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected": the lowering of trade and political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution that have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet. This book is perhaps the most popular for its historical revelation of how globalization has quickly changed India, China and America. |

| The Case Against the Fed This book, written by Murray Rothbard, an economist and historian of fairly well known repute, is a scathing attack on not only the Federal Reserve, but the interests that created this institution. Rothbard explains how the Federal Reserve is the true source in the destruction of wealth, which has led to the destruction of the middle class and continues to sift money into the hands of the wealthiest.

The Revolution: A Manifesto Dr. Ron Paul's THE REVOLUTION: A MANIFESTO is a concise and convincing argument for a return to America's libertarian principles. But the best and most important chapter, without a doubt, is Chapter 6, "Money: The Forbidden Issue in American Politics." Here Dr. Paul details the operations of the Federal Reserve System in stunning clarity. You see, the effects of inflation are not uniform -- the Fed System works as a wealth redistribution system from poor and middle-class to the rich and politically connected. This is the true cause of the increase in inequality and the diminishing middle class.

What Has Government Done to Our Money? Rothbard gives us an exceptionally clear, detailed description of what money is and how it has come to be manipulated by governments and central bankers into almost worthless inflationary fiat paper currency. He then explains how gold became the most respected and trustworthy currency of choice and the prospect of either hyperinflation or the greatest depression the world has ever seen may be arriving in the very near future. How Capitalism Saved America This book is an excellent presentation on the problems of government 'regulations' into free market mechanisms. This book illustrates simply and clearly how many chaotic economic problems were caused by interference from government regulations and how capitalism has overcome them.

Rothbard explains how the Federal Reserve is the true source in the destruction of wealth, which has led to the destruction of the middle class and continues to sift money into the hands of the wealthiest. The Single Global Currency This book explains the benefits of a Single Global Currency. This is the only book available focused on the debate of implementing a single global currency. Morrison Bonpasse explains how the creation of the Single Global Currency within a Global Monetary Union, managed by a Global Central Bank, could save the world trillions of dollars, while reducing the risk of many of the problems facing the financial markets today – such as the fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets. The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market's Perfect Storm The book is about the monetary panic in the U.S. in 1907. There was a lack of monetary liquidity and trusts and bank runs happened on top of each other. People were scared. Rich people became poor. The financial crisis gave America the FDIC and the Federal Reserve. The chronicle follows one speculator's attempt to corner the copper market, which leads to panic, the failure of banks and trusts and the impending bankruptcy of New York City. A great book with a good bit of linkage to today’s credit crunch. A Demon of Our Own Design Why do markets keep crashing and why are financial crises greater than ever before? As the risk manager to some of the leading firms on Wall Street–from Morgan Stanley to Salomon and Citigroup–and a member of some of the world’s largest hedge funds, Rick Bookstaber has seen the ghost inside the machine and vividly shows us a world that is even riskier than we think. The very things done to make markets safer, have, in fact, created a world that is far more dangerous. Bookstaber gives readers a front row seat to the management decisions made by some of the most powerful financial figures in the world that led to catastrophe.
| The Speculation Economy American businesses today are obsessed with the price of their stock, and no wonder. The consequences of even a modest decrease can be so dire that some executives would rather damage their corporation's long-term health than allow quarterly returns to fall below projections. But how did this situation come about? When did the stock market become the driver of the American economy? Lawrence E. Mitchell identifies the moment in American history when finance triumphed over industry. Gold: The Once and Future Money Governments and central bankers around the world today unanimously agree on the desirability of stable money, ever more so after some monetary disaster has reduced yet another economy to smoking ruins.

What You Should Know About Inflation This book presents the Austrian theory of money in the clearest possible terms, and contrasts it with the fallacies of government management. Hazlitt takes on not only the Keynesians but also the monetarists, as well as anyone who believes that government debt accumulation and manipulation of interest rates are harmless. Hazlitt touches on a wide variety of macroeconomic topics, including budget and trade issues, as well as the economic history of inflation. The Hyperinflation Survival Guide: Strategies for American Businesses The Hyperinflation Survival Guide offers strategies for business managers to keep their enterprise afloat in the midst of runaway inflation.

A sudden inflationary economic downturn may very well bring a business to its knees leading to insolvency. America Alone In this, his first major book, Mark Steyn--probably the most widely read, and wittiest, columnist in the English-speaking world--takes on the great poison of the twenty-first century: the anti-Americanism that fuels both Old Europe and radical Islam. America, Steyn argues, will have to stand alone. The world will be divided between America and the rest; and for our sake America had better win. The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected": the lowering of trade and political barriers and the exponential technical advances of the digital revolution that have made it possible to do business, or almost anything else, instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet. This book is perhaps the most popular for its historical revelation of how globalization has quickly changed India, China and America. Eating The Hand That Feeds U.S.: Manufacturing Our Demise The book portrays the de-Americanization of the U.S. manufacturing industry through the activities at DaimlerChrysler. A company that was once a part of the American social and economic solution - Chrysler - has become a global company that is a big part of the problem - Daimler. Goetzke explains what happen to the company and why thousands of jobs were lost. Goetzke then suggests that specific actions that must be taken to stop the global economy from creating a crisis economy in America. A Survival Guide For Selling A Home A Survival Guide for Selling a Home helps readers face the challenges of deciding whether or not to use an agent (and how to find one), estimating a price, and deciding which upgrades are worth making -- and which ones are not -- to add to their home's value. Featuring handy checklists, worksheets, and examples, the book takes readers step by step through the process of selling their homes, giving them valuable information on essential topics.
| Freedom: America's Competitive Advantage in the Global Market Gamble argues that globalization brings far more benefits to the U.S. economy than it takes away. Gamble shows that both Europe and emerging economic powers like China and India have serious long-terms problems linked to their cultures, political structures, occasional instability, and state ownership of companies. These and other factors will eventually put a brake on the economic growth of hot emerging economies. The fundamental protections of property and free speech, a culture that promotes and rewards entrepreneurship, banking policies that make capital easily available, are still more supportive of economic growth and wealth creation than can be found anywhere else. Exporting America: Why Corporate Greed Is Shipping American Jobs Overseas "How can our politicians call trade 'free' when year after year we sustain runaway trade deficits and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs?" Lou Dobbs, host of the Lou Dobbs Tonight show on CNN and self-proclaimed "lifelong Republican" details why he is against the whole notion of free trade. Instead, after deftly laying out the problems, Dobbs offers sound ideas for reversing the course that he thinks will lead to losing another 14 million jobs to outsourcing. Driven Abroad: The Outsourcing Of America Anyone who wants to see the real impacts of outsourcing should read this book. It leaves you thinking the real workers are never the winners, and makes you question what we are allowing to happen. The result of outsourcing is cheaper products for the consumers, which are mostly Americans – who are losing their jobs and will no longer be able to buy the products. Therefore, the products will eventually follow the jobs. Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic Like ancient Rome, America is saddled with an empire that is fatally undermining its republican government. Johnson surveys the trappings of empire: the brutal war of choice in Iraq and other foreign interventions going back decades; the militarization of space; the hundreds of overseas U.S. military bases. Retribution looms, the author warns, as the American economy, dependent on a bloated military-industrial complex and foreign borrowing, staggers toward bankruptcy. Empire of Debt Many Americans have resisted the notion that their country is an imperial power. The idea seems to contradict the values of the Republic and its Founding Fathers. But in Empire of Debt, prominent financial analysts Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin argue passionately that not only is the United States an empire, but it is also one whose end is coming soon. Day of Reckoning In Day of Reckoning, Pat Buchanan reveals the true existential crisis of the nation and shows how President Bush's post-9/11 conversion to an ideology of 'democratism' led us to the precipice of strategic disaster abroad and savage division at home. Ideology, writes Buchanan, is a false god that seeks vainly to create a paradise on earth. While free enterprise is good, the worship of a 'free trade' that is destroying the dollar, de-industrializing America, and ending our economic independence, is cult madness.
