{"product_id":"2940149181377","title":"Economics for Occupiers","description":"“Free market capitalism is the ability of individuals to exchange goods or services at mutually agreed upon rates of exchange, without coercion or misrepresentation.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you empathize with the message of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, you may have missed some key points in your economic education. If you've ever felt you needed to dispute what the Occupy Movement is saying, this book will arm you with the tools to clearly and simply refute the class warfare foundation of the left. If you are or have a student in college, this book will immunize against leftist propaganda that condemns free market Capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern economic theory - when it’s taught at all - has changed little in the last century, in spite of often tragic practical experience with various economic models. This will introduce the reader to the basic principle that wealth is inextricably linked to production. It examines markets and how money is used to facilitate exchanges of disparate products, and defines labor as a product which can be bought and sold in the market. It shows why labor unions were vitally necessary in the development of a modern industrial economy, but are today an impediment to the labor market for both workers and employers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book examines the early days of industrialization and shows that the historical cases used to condemn free-market capitalism were in fact examples of what happens when free market principles are not scrupulously observed. It looks at the evidence of the last century to show in clear terms why Communist, Fascist, Islamic and Keynesian economic theories are inherently flawed and unsustainable. It shows why European style socialism is only made possible by neighboring free market economies. It looks at tax policy and shows that \"Reaganomics\" was an outstanding success, not the failure that conventional wisdom teaches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book defines the proper role of regulations in the context of the free market, and shows the fallacy and pitfalls of having a totally unregulated market. It shows that the zero-sum-game worldview of the left is naive in a modern industrial economy and makes the case that concentration of wealth in the hands of a few is a feature, not a flaw of the Free Market, without which the world would be mired in poverty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book shows that the free market, when rigorously applied and defended by legislation, is the only sustainable economic model there is in the long term.","brand":"Sean Emerson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067999928560,"sku":"2940149181377","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149181377_p0.jpg?v=1763712691","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149181377","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
