{"product_id":"9781634138505","title":"Ending Big Government: The Essential Case for Capitalism and Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatism denotes any system of big government, a government that gains power at the expense of individual freedom, a government that uses its power to redistribute wealth and regulate the economy. Laissez-faire capitalism, by contrast, is the system of \u003cem\u003elimited\u003c\/em\u003e government, the system of economic and political freedom. It is a system that has created more wealth and lifted more people out of poverty than any other system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet it is relentlessly demonized. We are told that the free market is impractical—prone to crises, depressions, and coercive monopolies. Michael Dahlen dispels these and many other myths. He shows that a laissez-faire capitalist system is not only practical; he shows that it is \u003cem\u003emoral\u003c\/em\u003e, as it is the only system that recognizes each individual’s inalienable right to his own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA provocative weave of history, philosophy, and political economy, \u003cem\u003eEnding Big Government: The Essential Case for Capitalism and Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e, shows that capitalism is incontestably superior to statism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mill City Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058267701488,"sku":"9781634138505","price":14.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781634138505_p0.jpg?v=1763680467","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781634138505","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
