About the author

Shane and his wife of 25 years have two adult children and have resided in north Georgia since 1983. Shane is a Georgia native who was raised in the beef cattle business. He attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and studied Agricultural Engineering at the University of Georgia. Shane has been self-employed since 1991.

While he has spent the past fourteen years building and managing computer data systems for Agricultural and Document Management services, his overall life experience is broad and deep. Until 1991 Shane managed the family farm and logging operation. In 1991, at age 25, he opened a hydraulics and heavy equipment repair business as a stepping stone to international export, manufacturing and computer technology business opportunities. Although Shane has never taken a computer class, he has had continued success building large server based computer applications.

Shane has a love for liberty, truth and understanding which drives him to study the world in which we live. As a committed Christian Shane is active in church and ministry.

He has spent years studying apologetics, history, economics, personality, organizational behavior, science and more.

Shane was a candidate for the Georgia State Senate in 2010 and earned sufficient support to be in a runoff after a primary season with five candidates. While the race was lost, Shane carried his home county and was less than 50 votes short of a tie in the next most populous county of the district.

Shane is the host of Liberty and Production, a radio show based in Commerce Georgia at WJJC, 1270 AM and WJJC.net.

Shane and Leesa share a top priority of personally returning to productive agriculture. Their vision is of a farm combined with teaching facilities which have the purpose of producing for today and promoting knowledge that will help defend individual life, liberty and property for generations to come.

Shane Coley's Know Stealing is a breakthrough, must-read work which uncovers hidden causes of America's "boom and bust" economic cycles, as well as generational economic and societal decay.

Know Stealing provides keys to how "We the People" will be able to save America from the brink, while creating a solid, stable foundation of both individual behavior and just government, resulting in economic and individual prosperity.

Shane clearly, factually, and meticulously demonstrates how our costless fiat money system, along with other systems of state control, such as energy policy, media, regulation, and taxation, are designed to pillage America's citizens and the broader economy, leading to certain tyranny and destruction.

Know Stealing reminds us that stealing violates the 8th Commandment, and that, as a nation founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, we must confront stealing head on and return our financial and governmental systems to an honorable, Constitutional, truth-based foundation before we will ever be able to avoid financial catastrophes, let alone ensure America's liberties, freedoms, and prosperity are maintained into the future.

I highly recommend Know Stealing as a foundational work for those involved in economic, industrial, academic, religious, and public policy, and essentially for all who desire to restore America to her foundational roots and greatness.

Rarely does a book not only challenge but revolutionize the manner in which you view the world. Upon finishing such works, it’s as if you’ve been given a lens so as to better identify the functions of society that are right in front of you but have been too small to see. Frederic Bastiat’s classic, The Law comes to mind. Know Stealing is one such book. Shane Coley takes on the daunting task of explaining some of the most complex issues facing our world today and succeeds with a concise and astute brilliance. His solution, rooted in historical, economical and Biblical foundations is a single rule: Know Stealing. His insights on the significance and protection of life, liberty and property are desperately needed and a pleasure to read.

Most raters praise this book because of its sentiments. Coley is absolutely correct. My only complaint is that it reads more like a religious text than the philosophical text that it is. This can be a little off-putting to those whose religions are not of the Bible-thumping kind.

Fantastic book providing connection from the Bible to economic principle of a sound and honest money system. The research on the subject was outstanding.
