Economics

The Links between God’s Law, Civil Government, Freedom, and Prosperity.

There was a time in America when the concept of Communism, also known by its maiden name Socialism, drew an instinctive reaction of horror. Today, after generations of public schooling extolling its benefits, the seeds of Socialism are in full bloom. Both major parties adhere to its principles, quibbling only about details. The purpose of this page is to not only honor the great thinkers of the past, but also to remind modern-day Utopians that their schemes have proven wrong in both theory and practice, to point to a better way, and to arm those opposing them in the battle of ideas.
