The Left has seized on our economic troubles as an excuse to “blame the rich guy” and paint a picture of capitalism and the free market as selfish, greedy, and cruel. Exactly the opposite is true, says Father Robert Sirico in his thought-provoking book Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy. Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness. In Defending the Free Market, he shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity but also the surest route to a moral and socially just society.

If you park all your investment cash in a mutual fund, you are missing out on spectacular gains. Sure, you can "coast" on an annual gain slightly north or south of 10 to 15 percent, but if you were to trade your own account, you can earn many times more than that.

Indeed, this is possible with the information you'll find from this audiobook, Stock Market Investing for Beginners.

THE CONSENT PRINCIPLE The Moral Line Between Freedom and Force What if the most important question in ethics, politics, and everyday life has always had a simple answer — and we've simply been trained not to see it? The Consent Principle begins with a single idea: that people should only interact with each other by mutual agreement. That's it. That's the whole thesis. But as Shepard Humphries demonstrates across nine rigorously argued chapters, that simple idea has radical implications — for how we think about government, justice, property, education, healthcare, the environment, and ...

What is the role of activists and civil society in defining and defending the collective good in healthcare, especially in cases where that good seems to be heavily shaped by market dynamics?

Profit Without Apology is a moral defense of business in a culture that treats financial success as guilt and profit as vice. It argues that businessmen—far from being exploiters—are the creators of modern life, and that their pursuit of profit is not something to hide or downplay, but to champion with pride. Challenging the dominant ethic of self-sacrifice, this book makes the case for a new moral ideal—one that recognizes production as a virtue, trade as justice, and the businessman as a moral hero.
