The central point of free-market economics is the idea that an unregulated market is in our best interest. But have you ever asked yourself if that is really true? The current narrative is that if we regulate markets, this will impede the private sector, which creates the wealth necessary for us to thrive, pay taxes, and experience joy. Apparently, we rely on its generous benefactors for everything. The story goes further, insisting that by granting rights and enforcing minimum standard regulations, we will burden the economy and render ourselves less prosperous. Instead, we must transfer wealth to the already wealthy, who will see to it that prosperity trickles down. Is this based in reality? You likely know the answer already. It turns out that these "beliefs" are grounded in deceit, and the current system is very much a scam. Rights and regulations actually expand prosperity, and raising the living standard of the working people will make society more prosperous, diminishing inequality. "Free markets" are the opposite of what a healthy society needs, as they invariably lead to exploitation, monopolies, and generally dreary vistas. This title lays out the steps required to place us on a saner path-one bound for an economy that benefits the many, not the few. Embark today!
