So What Inspired You To Write Your Book? by Charles Goyette on Red and Blue and Broke All Over.
The book is really about how freedom creates prosperity. It’s something so axiomatic that it should be among the Truths that Americans hold to be Self-Evident: Freedom creates Prosperity.
Restoring the American Dream requires more than just singing about the "land of the free" at baseball games. It requires an understanding of freedom. The book lays out in clear terms, in terms that you can even use to explain it to your brother-in-law, why freedom works. In doing so, it helps answer these questions:
- Why does government interference in the economy makes us poorer?
- Why does the government’s central economic planning fail?
- Why is the government’s constant price meddling a disaster?
- Why is the government’s constant price meddling a disaster?
- How are the governing classes and the crony capitalists able to get away with robbing us to enrich themselves?
- What is the dollar endgame and what can we do about it?
Once you learn why freedom creates prosperity and why the state creates poverty, it becomes clear that only a renewed appreciation for freedom can lead us out. No new governmental initiative, charismatic candidate, bipartisan commission, or mechanical solution can help.
At the time of our founding, the people were aflame in their love for liberty. They talked about it in their taverns, town squares and churches. Only if we reignite that flame can we be rid of politicians’ endless mandates, their central economic planning, and their wealth destroying crony capitalism, bailout schemes, and monetary deceit.
I wrote the book to make clear that it is not the choice between the Red party and the Blue party that matters…It is the choice between statism and Freedom.It is the choice between poverty and prosperity.If we chose Freedom, we can restore the American Dream.We can have a future of opportunity, peace, and prosperity.If we choose Freedom.
