Book Description
Thought the last financial crisis was scary? Just wait…it’s going to get worse America is on the brink of financial collapse. Decades of political overpromising and underfunding have created a wave of debt that could swamp our already feeble economy. And the politicians’ favorite tricks–raising taxes, borrowing from foreign governments, and printing more money–will only make it worse. Only one thing might save us: Roll back the government. In Rollback: Repealing Big Government Before the Coming Fiscal Collapse, Thomas E. Woods, Jr. explains that we may still have a chance to avert total economic disaster–but only by completely changing our understanding of government. With bracing candor, he dissects just how the political class has nearly destroyed America’s economy. In Rollback, you’ll learn: Why practically everything you’ve been taught about government and the economy is wrong–the product of liberal pro–government propaganda How the Federal Reserve helps create crises and slows recovery Why big business is no ally in rolling back government and actually wants and needs big government intervention in the marketplace How current policies, if unchecked, will lead to the collapse of the dollar How government policies have driven the skyrocketing costs of health care Why retirement will be a pipe dream for the next generation How the coming collapse can be turned to your advantage–and the advantage of all who believe in liberty and limited government Thanks to decades of politicians playing kick the can down the road, we and our children are facing economic Armageddon. But this crisis could help us see government for what it really is–an institution that has seized our wealth and taught our children to honor it as the source of all progress. The good news is it’s not too late to roll back government–and the opportunity to do so is now.
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
If Congress and the Administration really wanted to learn how to eliminate the deficit, limit government, and protect liberty they would stop wasting taxpayers’ money on debt commissions’ and instead read Rollback.” The Honorable Ron Paul, Member of Congress
In
Rollback,, Tom Woods provides a provocative assessment of President Obama’s first two years of economic policymaking, challenging virtually every aspect of the administration’s narrative. While some readers may not be persuaded, all will find Woods’ analysis both interesting and worthy of serious debate.” Dr. Jeffrey Miron, Economist, Harvard University, and Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute
Tom Woods takes an honest (and methodically cited) look at the record of big government: skyrocketing healthcare costs, an out-of-control military, moral hazard in the markets, and a collapsing dollar. Even better, he offers clever, turnkey solutions that could restore the United States to being the breeding ground of wealth and ingenuity that our immigrant ancestors sought and cherished.
Rollback debunks the popular rhetoric of politicians, the media, and academia. Without a hint of partisanshiptaking on Republicans and Democrats alikeWoods has shown how misguided policies have set us up to be the first generation in memory to pass along lower standards of health, wealth, and opportunity to our children. If you are confused about how our once-mighty country has fallen so far, so fast, then Rollback is a good place to find your answer.” Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital and host of The Peter Schiff Show
In
Rollback, economic historian Tom Woods proves that the true culprit for our financial woes is a government that thinks it can right any wrong, regulate any activity, and tax any event; and a public that continues to accept the assault on its natural liberties in the name of safety. Woods demonstrates with brutal clarity the critical and immediate need to reject the myth that the government can protect us and to repeal the institutions it has created to do so.” Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, FOX News
