    More Liberty Means Less Government: Our Founders Knew This Well (Hoover Institution Press Publication ; No. 453) by Walter E. Williams - Presentation Transcript

    1. More Liberty Means Less Government: Our Founders Knew This Well (Hoover Institution Press Publication ; No. 453) by Walter E. Williams Extremely Intelligent And Funny In this new collection of thoughtful, hard-hitting essays, Walter E. Williams once again takes on the left wings most sacred cows with provocative insights, brutal candor, and an uncompromising reverence for personal liberty and the principles laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. He challenges the assumptions of contemporary liberalism with ruthless honesty, presenting an impressive array of powerful ideas and substantive information to frame his perspectives on the issues facing America in such critical areas as race, sex, government, law, education, the environment, and international relations. Williamss often controversial views include commentary on Women in the Military. At Parris Island, it
    2. was discovered that 45 percent of female Marines were unable to throw a hand grenade far enough to avoid blowing themselves up. If I were in a foxhole with a woman about to toss a hand grenade, Id consider her the enemy. Racial and Gender Quotas. The only reason the elite havent mandated quotas for women, Japanese, and other underrepresented groups in the NBA and the NFL is because the folly and costs of their cosmic justice vision would be exposed. Affirmative Action. Too many blacks receive twelve years of fraudulent primary and secondary education that cannot be overcome by four years of college. Unfortunately, liberals and civil rights organizations add to that disaster by giving unquestioned support to a corrupt education establishment that produces the fraud. The Americans with Disabilities Act. In some quarters, the ADA is taken to stand for Attorneys Dream Answered. And who pays? You and I, through higher prices or less convenience. The Minimum Wage. Low wages are more a result of people being underproductive than being underpaid. They simply do not have the skills to produce and do things their fellow man highly values. The minimum wage law is evil legislation and deserving of repeal altogether. Using the fundamentals of economics—and basic common sense—to prove his points, Williams offers wise, witty, and stimulating insights on these and other controversial subjects, including corporate welfare, gun control, environmental regulations, free trade, abortion, the public school system, tobacco industry regulation, and more. Personal Review: More Liberty Means Less Government: Our Founders Knew This Well (Hoover Institution Press Publication ; No. 453) by Walter E. Williams I love this book. It's a collection of Walter Williams articles that he has written over the years. So, to say that this is a bathroom book would be an insult. Let's call this a morning coffee book, because most of the articles are about 2 pages. One could devour the information while waiting for the coffee maker to finish, and digest the knowledge on the way to work. Walter William's economic common sense effortlessly blasts through the trash heap of media spin and conventional wisdom to shine a ray of sunshine on that lonely little flower called truth. If I had the money I'd buy this book for everyone I know or even run into. Here are some of my favorite articles in the book: Free Markets and Blacks, Income Lies and Propaganda, Blacks in America versus Africa, America's Liberal Cancer. Thank you Walter Williams for a super easy reading book. Why isn't this required reading in schools?
