“It is a simple, obvious, self-evident fact that ideas, understanding, wisdom cannot be coercively injected into the consciousness of another. Yet, such is the presumption of persons who employ the coercive techniques.” Leonard Read implores that “Truth is not to be found in coercive arrangements.” This work spans a wide array of topics from Egoism & Altruism to comparisons of macro and micro economics, and demonstrates Leonard Read’s legendary dynamism in his writing of literature.

Liberty does not and cannot include any action, regardless of sponsorship, which lessens the liberty of a single human being.
Leonard E. Read was the founder of the Foundation for Economic Education — the first modern libertarian think tank in the United States — and was largely responsible for the revival of the liberal tradition in post–World War II America.

Ak otvoríte dvere, zatvorte ich. Tento výrok sa mi páčil viac ako prirovnania na mikro a makroúrovni. Je to niečo ako rada Jordana Petersona: „Upracte si izbu.“

September 24, 2022Repetitive and states a lot of the obvious.
All the author does is use catchy phrases/titles to convey that the economy is not where it should be. There are bible quotes and quotes from people from the past. In conclusion, it felt like the author was rambling to himself the entire time.
The following quote was the only thing I liked:
"Social chaos has no better ally than broken promises".
