Introduction: A battle for the soul of America -- FedEx or the Post Office? : free markets meet people's needs, big government meets its own needs -- Freedom or Big Brother? : choice versus coercion -- Silicon Valley or Detroit? : creativity and abundance versus rigidity and scarcity -- Paychecks or food stamps? : empowerment versus dependence -- Apple or Solyndra? : meritocracy versus cronyism -- The spirit of Reagan or Obama? : optimism and cooperation versus pessimism and distrust.
Freedom Manifesto captures the spirit of a new movement that is questioning old ideas about the mo¬%x;rality of government and markets for the first time since the Great Depression. Going beyond the familiar explanations and sound bites, the authors provide a fully developed framework of "first principles" for a true understanding of the real moral and ethical distinctions between more and less government. This timely and provocative book shows why free markets and liberty are the only way to a better future and a fair and humane society.--From publisher description.
