This book is no longer in print and has been superseded by a newer book: A Hayekian Worldview: Natural Selection and the Evolution of Life, Society, the Economic Crisis, Hip-Hop, and F.A. Hayek's Coming Intellectual Revolution
The presidential campaign of ten-term congressman Dr. Ron Paul has helped spark a capitalist revolution that is sweeping across America. Regardless of Dr. Paul's presidential success, this movement is poised to continue its Internet dominance and ultimately help spread the proper understanding of free-market economics throughout the USA and the rest of the world. The purpose of this book is to help the layman understand, not only how Capitalism is the economic system that creates the most prosperous social order, but just as importantly, why due to our tribal human nature we so easily fear and misunderstand it and blindly fall for the share-the-wealth socialist ideologies which inevitably bring socioeconomic hardship. The book provides a concise yet in-depth introduction to what economists refer to as "the market process", which is the economic process that gives an efficient and productive order to the nearly 7 billion human beings that make up our global human ant-farm. This introduction to economics and everything else in the book begins from scratch and should be within a high school student's grasp. An introduction to cultural evolution, based on the ideas of 1974 Nobel laureate in economics F.A. Hayek is also provided. This introduction to cultural evolution is a crucial ingredient needed to understand the important evolution and interplay between human nature, religion, morals, laws and economic forces. This intellectual foundation is then used to examine the detrimental effects of government involvement in the economy, environmentalism, religious and political ideology, and finally the successes, failures, and future of the "Ron Paul Revolution". The ultimate purpose of this book is to spread an understanding of Capitalism and show how individual freedom and small government, instead of leading to social chaos and great injustices as most people fear, leads to the greatest social order and prosperity humanly possible.
