Summary

Are Americans truly free? In The Freedom Scale, Jake Morrett argues that personal liberty is under assault from an ever-expanding government and erosion of constitutional principles. This incisive examination of modern politics proposes a new framework for evaluating policies based on how they impact individual freedom.
 
Morrett takes readers on a journey through the hot-button issues that can create a domino effect on freedom as a whole, like taxation, gun rights, healthcare, and education—viewing each through the lens of liberty vs. government control. He offers a blistering critique of policies that diminish personal choice, responsibility, and property rights while empowering the state. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are spared from Morrett’s scrutiny, as he builds a case that both parties have contributed to the decline of freedom.
 
More than just criticism, The Freedom Scale provides readers with tools to measure the impact of laws and regulations on personal liberty. Morrett’s analytical approach cuts through partisan rhetoric to focus on fundamental questions of individual rights and limited government. He challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the proper role of government in a free society.
 
Part political philosophy, part call-to-action, this thought-provoking book makes a compelling case for recommitting to America’s founding principles. For those concerned about overreach and the future of freedom, The Freedom Scale offers a roadmap for restoring individual liberty in the modern era.
 
Fans of Liberty Defined by Ron Paul, The Tyranny of Liberalism by James Kalb, and The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek will love The Freedom Scale.

However, you continually go back to them because they beg, make promises that it will be better, or that they will change. Some will even threaten you if you don’t come back.Do you find yourself changing your wants and feelings to accommodate them, because they will not change?At one time, was you partner overly charming and said the things you wanted to hear? But now, they are disagreeable about everything, mean and even condescending?You try to have a normal discussion with them about a general, simple topic, only for them to turn it into a disagreement or argument.

    How the Irish Became White

    '…from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst 
     
    The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White. Ignatiev traces the tattered history of Irish and African-American relations, revealing how the Irish used labor unions, the Catholic Church and the Democratic party to help gain and secure their newly found place in the White Republic. He uncovers the roots of conflict between Irish-Americans & African-Americans & draws a powerful connection between the embracing of white supremacy & Irish "success" in 19th century American society.

    "Elegant and enlightening." —Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal 
     
     
      
    Phocion (402–318 BCE) won Athens's highest public office by direct democratic election an unmatched forty-five times and was officially honored as a "Useful Citizen." A student at Plato's Academy, Phocion gained influence and power during a time when Athens faced multiple crises stemming from Macedonia's emergence as an international power under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Following Athens's defeat by Macedonia, Phocion unsuccessfully sought mild terms of surrender. Oligarchy was imposed on democratic Athens, and more than twelve thousand "undesirable" Athenians were exiled. When the oligarchic regime was overthrown and the exiles returned, dispossessed Athenians took out their volcanic anger on Phocion, who throughout his career had often been a harsh critic of the citizens' political decisions. His inflammatory rhetoric contributed to the popular conclusion that he lacked a genuine sense of belonging to the community he wished so desperately to preserve. When he was eighty-four, the Athenians convicted him of treason and condemned him to die by hemlock. In this fresh biography, Thomas R. Martin explores how and why Phocion ultimately failed as a citizen and as a leader. His story offers unsettling lessons for citizens in democracies today.
