Acerca de esta escucha
In The Emperor’s Clothes Cost Twenty Dollars, Lloyd Darland explains how the Federal Reserve works to steal your money through inflation, and he describes the fraud and illegalities of the federal tax system. He uses easy-to-understand analogies, simple language, and a little bit of history to make his case that the US government has committed what he calls "megafraud" on the American people.
Author bio: 170 years after the founding of our country, Mr. Darland entered West Point, where the motto of “Duty, Honor, Country” was more than just three words on an emblem. Though he graduated in the top third of his class, he was more a man of action than of contemplation. Married on graduation day, he and his wife, Lois, raised a family of four children. His work as a youth caused him to be a union member—first in the construction trades and later as a meat cutter. While in the Armed Forces, he became an expert in weapons and explosives. As a project officer working with nuclear weapons, he had top secret clearance. He was a quality control engineer for the Air Force and an operations research analyst for the Army, specializing in cost and economic analysis in the logistics section of an analysis agency. After he retired, he became self-employed. But there is more to life than work. He was a Sunday school teacher in the Methodist Church where he was a member. He designed and built a major addition on his home. He got his pilot’s license. He did significant volunteer work in the Maryland prison system, organizing and teaching the first economics class ever presented within the penitentiary walls. He served on the board of directors of the Harford County Gifted and Talented Association and as a lecturer in economics at the Harford Community College. He was a firm believer in the ideals that made this country great and was dedicated to freedom, personal responsibility, and the free enterprise system. Mr. Darland passed away on August 8, 2011, at the age of 84.

A million-copy seller, Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson is a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern “libertarian” economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. Called by H. L. Mencken “one of the few economists in history who could really write,” Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work.

He confronts head-on the tough questions frequently posed to libertarians: What about inequality? Who protects the environment? What ties people together if they are essentially self-interested?

Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country.

Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

The subject of "money" remains one of the most fascinating, thought provoking, emotional, polarizing, and well-researched subjects in the world. Scores of books, articles, blog posts, and speeches have been written on what money is, how to earn it, how to spend it, who has it and who does not, and a myriad of other topics related to the effects that it produces. Yet, despite the constant focus and interest on the topic, there is one word that describes the average person's views around money: confusion.

In the words of Harvard economist Niall Ferguson, the United States is “an empire on the edge of chaos.” Why? Glenn Beck thinks the answer is pretty simple: Because we’ve turned our backs on the Constitution. Yes, our country is financially broke, but that’s just a side effect of our broken spirit, our broken faith in government, the broken promises by our leaders, and a broken political system that has centralized power at the expense of individual rights.

In The Real Crash, New York Times best-selling author Peter D. Schiff argues that America is enjoying a government-inflated bubble, one that reality will explode... with disastrous consequences for the economy and for each of us. Schiff demonstrates how the infusion of billions of dollars of stimulus money has only dug a deeper hole: The United States government simply spends too much and does not collect enough money to pay its debts, and in the end, Americans from all walks of life will face a crushing consequence.
