I bought this book directly from the author at a Rally for Gov. Scott Walker in Oshkosh. Jake signed the book for me. We talked about what we both personally witnessed in Madison last year during Occupy Madison in February and April. He said I'd like the book because he goes behind the scenes of what happened. He was right.
Jake Jacobs is a teacher who has battled the Wisconsin Teachers Union his entire career. In this book he explains the background and the mind-set of Big Education, Big Labor and Big Government. He carefully explains the difference between a republican (representative) form of government and a democracy (majority or mob rule - mobocracy). Our country's founding fathers avoided creating a democracy because it always leads to mobocracy. The word "democracy" does not appear in the US Constitution.
The book is an easy read, and reads like you are listening to a speech. He covers the origins of Socialism and Marxism, and shows their influence upon the Madison protest groups, teachers, and labor unions. The value of the book comes from weaving the history of these groups into a context that explains the Madison protests and the recall elections that Democrats and Big Labor have forced upon Wisconsin.

If you ever wondered where some of these ideas about "fair share" and "spreading the wealth" come from, this is a must read. If you don't know who is really for freedom, this is a must read. If you want an inside picture of what took place in Madison. Wis., this is a must read. Read it soon. The welfare of our country is at stake.

This book was an excellent history of socialism in Western civilization. I recommend it to everyone and am very surprised that it has not been more widely read.

With the election of Mr. Biden, I'm glad I read Mobocracy, but it's not an easy book to read. It's more the sort of book you turn to when you're doing research. Fortunately, I own it, so I can go back to it when I need to look something up.
