Economics can explain everything, from why people behave the way they do to how governments and businesses organize themselves. As the blockbuster best-seller Freakonomics demonstrated, economics can explain everything - from why people behave the way they do to how governments and businesses organize themselves. But are the basic assumptions and conclusions in Freakonomics true? Does the free market usually lead to unintended and negative consequences?

Great info, well presented and fact based. A fresh, common sense perspective in this increasingly insane world.

Johnson's monumental history of the United States, from the first settlers to the Clinton administration, covers every aspect of American culture: politics, business, art, literature, science, society and customs, complex traditions, and religious beliefs. The story is told in terms of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character.

Brilliant light in a sea of darkness!

Simply breathtaking. Johnson eviscerates the cancerous pablum spawned by the anti American Howard Zinn to tell a story of a people making their way in the world, often making mistakes and failing, but far more often succeeding brilliantly. Johnson, unlike Zinn, clearly recognizes the fundamental goodness of the American people writ large, and the extraordinary positive impact the United States has had on the world. It’s not that Johnson doesn’t recognize or address America’s failures and imperfections, he does, but he recognizes them for what they are, the human frailties of a people - individually and collectively- actively working to create prosperity and make their lives better. They don’t always succeed, but they certainly do more often than not, and the planet as a whole is far better off for it. At the end of the day, as a result of the American constitution, the individual liberty it protected and free markets and capitalism, the United States has driven more prosperity and freedom for more people around the world than any nation or people in history...Johnson tells you their story.
