“Basic Economics”

I recommend the following book to every American patriot.

Sowell, Thomas (2007). “Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy” (3rd. ed.). New York: Basic Books.

Many factors sustain the greatness of America.

Without question, the health of our economy is one of them. Very basic economics should be a required course in our high schools. This is critically important because not all American voters will attend college and not all college students will take a course in economics. America’s voters all too frequently have no idea about how the political ideology that they presently fancy, will impact America’s, and their own, economic condition in the future.

I believe that this is just one of the fatal flaws in our Republic that must be corrected.

If you have not had a good course in Economics, read this book. It is very comprehensive and will open your eyes to many psychological, social and political realities that are essential for the survival of our American way of life.
