Stop and Think
Ending the Political Game: Productivity Has Always Been the Answer
Published 2025
The answers exist for helping individuals achieve a better lifestyle. However, they are buried under the political mindset that the key to economic prosperity is by embracing the ideology of big government, and by promoting a never-ending list of social programs.
Distributing economic handouts through political programs is not an effective way to help an individual live a fulfilling life, it only creates government dependency, and make no mistake about it, dependency and government control is the desired outcome of those who promote government as the answer.
On the other hand, the principles of the economic way of thinking focus upon the realization that providing an economic hand up is the only way to establish an environment where individuals are free to pursue their dreams and help others achieve a fulfilling life. Embedded within the economic way of thinking is the realization that increases in productivity result in more output and income. Bottom line, the information in the book helps the reader to understand economic facts and debunk myths.
