Shows how our economic crisis was a failure, not of the free market, but of government.”—Charles Koch, Chairman and CEO, Koch Industries, Inc. Did Wall Street cause the mess we are in?

In the end, you’ll understand why it’s so important to put “free” back in free market.It’s time for America to accept the truth: the government can’t fix the economy because the government wrecked the economy. This book gives us the tools, the inspiration—and the cure.
