From the author of The End of Work, Who Needs the Fed?, and Popular Economics, comes a true policy guide for America’s frustrated, independent thinkers.
In They’re Both Wrong, John Tamny explains how both Democrats and Republicans have turned the Constitution on its head by virtue of both parties presuming to govern us from Washington, D.C. – as opposed to each leaving us free to choose our policy bliss through our choice of city or state.
What they’re saying:
“An astonishing, mind-stretching, provocative, always-interesting book that could perform a genuine public service for us all by smashing the oft-sterile boundaries of political debate. A must-read masterpiece.” ~ Steve Forbes
"John Tamny may be the most effective contrarian in America today. No matter how much I may endeavor to understand the subtleties of a given topic or issue, I can count on Tamny to not only poke meaningful holes in my perspective but teaches me a thing or two in the process. And is that not the true value of those who can effectively, perceptively and smartly view issues from outside that box that often confines even the most clever analysis? Tamny is almost sure to test the patience and the boundaries of a reader’s own point of view. But you will come away from the experience with questions you didn’t even know you should be asking along with a few answers you likely did not see coming." ~ Rick Ungar, Host of the nationally syndicated “The Rick Ungar Show”
"I agree with John Tamny about a lot, but I strongly disagree with him on much more. What's not up for debate is that John is one of the smartest, most original thinkers in America. I dare you to read 'They're Both Wrong' and come to a different conclusion." ~ Steve Bannon
“In ‘They’re Both Wrong,’ John Tamny is right. Why? Because Conservatives and Liberals both believe in politics. Politics is the idea that all of society’s ills can be cured politically. This is like a cookbook where the recipe for everything is to fry it. The fruit cocktail is fried. The soup is fried. The salad is fried. So is the ice cream and cake. And your Pinot Chardonnay is rolled in breadcrumbs and dunked in the deep fat fryer. Tamny argues that you’re better off doing your own ideological home cooking.” ~ P. J. O’Rourke
