Returning America to Prosperity

We are the USA, a great Super Power, but we're drowning in debt, unemployment is high, Republicans and Democrats hate each other, the public hates Congress, credit is tight, most of us are overweight, and we have too many lawyers. Are we doomed to mediocrity? No, we can return to prosperity by investing in ourselves and building our equity. Our country will prosper as we the people prosper and as we reshape our governments to protect our equity. It's challenging but not complicated. This book extends the concept of equities beyond material assets to include health, education, skills, job, family, friends, and character, and explains how to assure that our governments (federal, state, and local) protect our equities. The approach is based on principles and axioms of economics. For example, in support of the principle, protect the free market, one axiom is that price brings supply and demand into balance. The author identifies current policies and programs which violate economic principles and destroy equity. He proposes goals, based on our enlightened self-interest, for our governments, and strategies, consistent with the economic principles, to achieve those goals. The book offers many supporting quotations and references from renowned world leaders and economic sages of the ages. It is intended for readers seeking to gain insights and make improvements in their own physical, emotional, and economic health first, and then to improve the operations of their state and local governments, the functionality of their federal government, and ultimately, the well-being of their country.
