5.0 out of 5 stars What is the state of the REAL economy?, February 28, 2002

By A Customer

What is distinctive about LaRouche's approach to the economy is that he does not focus on mere increases or decreases in share-prices in the stock market or prices in real estate, neither of which necessarily reflects the actual state of the economy.

Nor does he focus simply on production, which can be ratched up and quickly exhausted if a society does not investment in replenishing and upgrading its productive capacity.

Rather, what LaRouche looks at is the relative increase or decrease in the production of the capacity of a society to produce, and this over the long-term of 25-year intervals.

He goes behind all of the smoke and mirrors and tinsel that capture the imaginations of most economists, and gets down to fundamental issues.

Relative economic strength or weakness must always be situated within a systemic framework. You have to examine the long-term health of that system; that, and the prevailing axiomatic-like assumptions about the economy, which will determine whether or not productive capacity will be built for future.

It is a book well worth reading, and is easily worth ten times the price on the cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look around you; LaRouche was right about economics!, November 29, 2008

By	a patriot (the Bronx) - See all my reviews

LaRouche was right! LaRouche was right! LaRouche was right!

Are people finally going to admit the truth about this man? He forcasted (using his own LaRouch/Riemann method) that the entire world economy would collapse unless we created a new financial system. He started saying this in 1971! Well, here we are...

All of the so-called experts and economists, including that idiot - Allen Greenspan were wrong and LaRouche was right.

Instead of being open-minded, most Americans went along - like stupid sheep - and followed what the "experts" in the media were telling us about economics. Many people laughed and ridiculed LaRouche and said: "Ha-ha, LaRouche is a nut. America is the riches country on earth! Our economy is not collapsing."

So my question is: are the anti-LaRouche fanatics going to give-up, swallow thier pride, and admit that they were completly wrong and LaRouche was completly right?

O.K. Americans: Stop being stupid. Turn off your reality T.V. show and go to www.larouchepac.com and learn something for a change; It's a matter of life-or-death.

5.0 out of 5 stars The crowning work on a long tradition, May 24, 2008

By	Ibn Nafa'a (palestine at heart) - See all my reviews

What Lyndon LaRouche outlines in this book is nothing short a extraordinary. By combining the work of Bernhard Riemann with the the American system of Economics (as well as a graet deal original to himself) he sets the difinitive standard for all economic thinking. By eliminating all axioms and thoroughly investigating all necessary factors he brings the would-be student in a position where he/she can see the fundamental dynamic of the economy of a society from the inside.
Amazing and the only thing for all economists who would rather have a scientificly based economy rather than the usual ideologically based trash out there.
