A Fine Explanation of Capitalism's Philosophical Foundations
This excellent work makes the case that capitalism is the only moral social system because it protects a man's mind, his primary means of survival and flourishing. Younkins emphasizes that only a free society is compatible with the true nature of man and the world. This extremely readable and well organized book is about freedom and the type of society men require in order to engage in their own happiness-pursuing activities. CAPITALISM AND COMMERCE is a tolerant, nonparochial, and inclusive work that expounds fundamental principles that will be widely supported by readers from journals as diverse as REASON, THE CATO JOURNAL, NAVIGATOR, THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW, JOURNAL OF MARKETS AND MORALITY, IDEAS ON LIBERTY, JOURNAL OF LIBERTARIAN STUDIES, LIBERTY, THE FREE RADICAL, CRITICAL REVIEW, FREEDOM DAILY, HUMANE STUDIES REVIEW, MISES DAILY, IMPRIMIS, REGULATION, HOOVER DIGEST, and POLICY REVIEW. This book is a tour de force presentation of the moral and philosophical case for freedom!

Economic Eye Opener
Dr. Younkins exposes to the world the truth behind the current United States entitlement system. The easy to read chapters discuss each aspect of a capitilistic system in its purest form. Each chapter builds on each other allowing the reader to discover the mirage of free enterprise in this country.
This is a very good book and Ed has been able to lubricate the previously dry subject of economics. Any person who believes that Americans live under a free enterprise system should read this book. If you believe that you are entitled to some economic aid from the "Government," read this book. Similar Products
