    Bankrupting America: How Government Intervention Is Wrecking the Economy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min
    Before we can fix our economic problems, we must first diagnose what is causing them. Many of our political and intellectual leaders call for more government intervention to fix the economy. They tell us that it creates jobs, corrects "market failures", and boosts economic growth. And they insist that we need such intervention to help the poor, to coddle the consumer, and to protect the worker. But they're dead wrong. Government intervention is not the solution to our economic problems; it's the cause. Bankrupting America: How Government Intervention Is Wrecking the Economy analyzes all the major categories of government intervention in the economy - from taxes, deficits, antitrust, and price controls to regulation, protectionism, central banking, and wealth redistribution. In this book, you'll find out: Why protectionist policies such as tariffs destroy more jobs than they save Why the antitrust laws penalize the most productive, successful companies Why price controls cause shortages Why the minimum wage increases unemployment Why regulation stifles productivity Why high taxes, chronic deficits, and excessive government debt hinder economic growth Why government-provided services cost twice as much as those provided by the private sector Why private charity is more effective than government welfare Why the Federal Reserve's manipulation of interest rates exacerbates the business cycle Why government "stimulus" spending during a recession does not accelerate a recovery And much more Backed by numerous academic studies and sound economic logic, the conclusion is incontestable: Government intervention simply doesn't work. It stifles saving, investment, and capital accumulation. All of this translates to higher unemployment, higher consumer prices, and lower economic growth. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Something for Nothing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 419min
    Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging grabbing match culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Tracy.

    Classical vs. Modern Education: A Vision from C.S. Lewis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
    Discover the best education for your child imaginable! With all the education options available today, choosing the right school or curriculum for your child can be daunting. But what if you knew what the ideal education looked like? Now you will! C.S. Lewis, the beloved author of the Chronicles of Narnia series, guides us on a journey that contrasts classical and contemporary education approaches. Lewis explains that while the cultivation of virtue was central to classical education, modern education stifles such moral formation by teaching a scientifically-inspired mechanistic vision of the world. By rediscovering classical education, Lewis argues that the affections of our students can be trained to love what's truly lovely and thereby experience human flourishing. Here is a preview of what you'll learn.... How to assess different educational approaches What is meant by the classical emphasis on virtue formation How our notion of the educated person has changed over the centuries The consequences of modern education for what it means to be human How to get involved in classical education How to access available classical education resources And much, much more! The best possible education is at your fingertips! Take action today and awaken your child to a world of educational flourishing! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen R. Turley.
