Sinossi

In "Shrink Government," financial expert and columnist Archie Richards delivers a passionate argument that America's problems stem not from bad policies, but from government itself. Drawing on decades of economic expertise, Richards methodically demonstrates how federal, state, and local governments—now constituting 40% of GDP—have become too large, too intrusive, and ultimately harmful to the very people they claim to help.
 
Richards challenges conventional wisdom by revealing how government programs ostensibly designed to help the poor often achieve the opposite effect. From welfare to healthcare, from education to monetary policy, he examines how government intervention distorts markets, increases costs, and widens the gap between rich and poor.
 
The book offers a bold vision: reduce government to 5% of GDP, privatize most services, eliminate most regulations, and restore individual liberty. Richards outlines practical alternatives for welfare, healthcare, education, and monetary policy that rely on free markets rather than government force. He also presents provocative solutions for the national debt crisis, including selling federal land and resources to private owners who would assume portions of the debt.
 
Whether addressing climate change, foreign policy, or the Federal Reserve, Richards consistently demonstrates how smaller government and freer markets would create a more prosperous and equitable society for all Americans.
 
If you enjoyed "Free to Choose," "Economics in One Lesson," and "Basic Economics," you'll love "Shrink Government."

    "Essential reading. A companion for turbulent times."—Laura van den Berg 
      
    Internationally bestselling author Miriam Toews' memoir of the will to write—a work of disobedient memory, humor, and exquisite craft set against a content-hungry, prose-stuffed society. 
      
    “Why do you write?” the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews—all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer—surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. 
      
    Marking the first time Toews has written her own life in nonfiction, A Truce That Is Not Peace explores the uneasy pact a writer makes with memory. Wildly inventive yet masterfully controlled; slyly casual yet momentous; wrenching and joyful; hilarious and humane—this is Miriam Toews at her dazzling best, remaking her world and inventing an astonishing new literary form to contain it.

    “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
    Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
    In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
    “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
    We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
    The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
    Going for the Moonshot 
    Surrendering to FOMO 
    Relying on Family and Friends 
    Being Blinded by the Upside 
    Trusting the Media 
    Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
    Neglecting to Measure Twice 
    There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
    The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
    We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.
