The Real Economy

by Dr. Fred Blanchard

 

Book Details

Real life economics at its best

Nature, with man’s help, produces sufficient fuel in the form of food to sustain the lives of everyone on earth. Why is it that a select few have assumed the power to determine who gets it and how much when their charter of government only gives them the power to protect our lives, our liberties and our property? The adoption of such an economic system has been the cause of the demise of every organized society in recorded history. The framers of the United States Constitution made a vain attempt of altering this abysmal record but they concentrated their efforts on correcting the political system and ignored its economic underpinnings therefore dooming both to ultimate failure. This book examines the economic history of the United States and describes how and why the fate of all previous societies will be repeated unless a new economic system is implemented. An economic system that will avoid previous mistakes is proposed.
