Imagine how different your life would be if you could tell whether someone was lying or telling you the truth. Be it hiring a new employee, investing in a financial interest, speaking with your child about drugs, confronting your significant other about suspected infidelity, or even dating someone new, having the ability to unmask a lie can have far-reaching and even life-altering consequences. As former CIA officers, Philip Houston, Michael Floyd, and Susan Carnicero are among the world's best at recognizing deceptive behavior.

Forget GDP, and focus instead on living standards, people’s ability to get what they want. When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich. You’ll also see why no matter who or what the government taxes, or even if it taxes nobody, nearly the entire cost of government is paid for in the form of reduced living standards for the poor or anyone else on a tight budget. Despite covering serious issues that affect the lives of everyone, the book is designed to be easy and entertaining even for those who know little about economics. That’s because the laws of economics are ultimately based on universal aspects of human nature. If you are a human, you’ll get it.Show book
