Rating: Summary: Excellent Source of Information Review: After taking an Intro to Business class in college and having learned only about communism and socialism and that capitalism was the root to all evil, I started to question a lot of things. If the US is founded on capitalism, does that mean that the US is the root of all evil? Of course the answer is no! If you're interested in learning some of the facts about what capitalism is and should be, this is the book you want to pick up. This book should be required reading in college business, law, and all government classes. Ayn Rand covers all aspects of capitalism in a very organized, logical way. This book is very easy to understand and is clearly and concisely written. It is a must have if you want to pick up anything about capitalism.
Rating: Summary: Greenspan's Early Beliefs Review: This is the best of Rand's non-fiction. In addition, it contains two articles by Alan Greenspan. Most strangely, in "Gold and Economic Freedom", he argues that the federal reserve is unnecessary, immoral, founded on a misunderstanding of economics, distructive to freedom and wealth, exists primarily to support chronic deficit spending and the welfare state, and was the cause of the great depression. That's right, our current Fed Head!
