Product Description

The social and economic systems you and your family rely on for subsistence are critically defective. This book details the precise, basic causes behind the degenerative conditions you see in society today and offers the new systems needed to replace them. The bankers are running the world's governments, terrorism is most often state-sponsored and the elite power-brokers are profiting from worsening conditions. Until now, the only solution offered to people that learned what was going on behind the mass media smoke-screen was to "tell others about it" or "write your congressman". These actions alone will not avert the impending social disaster. Now, the basic nuts and bolts of the practical measures everyone can take to replace the existing dysfunctional social systems are laid out for anyone to employ.

5.0 out of 5 stars The answer to society's problems!, April 5, 2009

By	D. Rosenfield - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Social Viability does a fantastic job of highlighting the things that are wrong with our current social system--things that, once pointed out, are obvious problems which prevent us from thriving as a nation.

More importantly, the author identifies the reasons behind the problems, and carries them to their logical solutions. By discovering the profit behind the corruption, he theorizes a solution that removes that possibility of profiting from the misfortune of others.

He has really created a system in which the obstacles stopping individuals from being in control of their destiny, from creating a life in which they can flourish, have been removed and the society as a whole is set up to prosper based on the success of its members.

People who contribute to society are helped by society and everybody wins. He removes from society the various things that prevent some people from having the same opportunities that other parts of society have. He does this by removing restrictive laws and policies that are meant to stop the few people with criminal tendencies and instead cripple the ability of the rest of us to exercise our freedom.

His justice system is refreshingly simple, to the degree that lawyers are unnecessary and every citizen is expected to represent himself in presenting the proof that will contribute to a verdict of guilty or not.

I do have many questions that I plan to direct to the author about the economic system that he outlines in the book because I am not convinced that it is completely workable as given, but I hope that he has more insight to share about how it would work.

What I like most is that this system is honorable, practical, and restores ethics and responsibility into the hands of each of us.

I could go on for some time, but I wouldn't do the book justice. I definitely recommend it to everyone--the more people read this, the closer it comes to replacing the status quo. I warn you that this plan--social viability--is no mental exercise, but a plan to create a sane social system, one that gives you the steps to take to make it a reality.
