Guard of the Guards

The book starts with the basic issue, our liberty interests
in common. Yes, we have some. But our guards (our lawmakers) are
now ending even some in common liberties we, so briefly, enjoyed.
For we mere ordinary folk to limit our guards to doing only what
we want, we need an understanding of the whole freedom issue.
Each of us, no matter what we do, is a cog in some economy
wheel. To be more than a cog, and so able to protect our economic
freedom, we need knowledge. Economic theory is about the wheel in
which we are the cogs. This book in everyday words, explains what
government can do to enable us to be best housed clothed and fed.
The search for full employment and maximised wages includes
what others mention as if it were a separate issue - ownership of
capital effects. In its incisive review of prosperity issues this
book also integrates the effects of the trade cycle, inflation
and deflation, unstable banks, foreign trade and wage relativity
between nations, the welfare state so tax and government debt.
And in this economic review is a chronology of the lead up
to the 2007 onwards `financial crash'. These facts will alter the
view now held by almost all about responsibility for this crash.
Ethical distribution of prosperity does not occur at random.
No other book clearly cross-relates political and economic life.
By integrating economic understanding into the overall search for
individual liberty, and by ending with the law restriction needed
for liberty in a community (basic protect liberty jurisprudence),
all of this book is extraordinarily novel and revealing.
You probably hoped that others knew more than you - and have
been disappointed. Now, GUARD OF THE GUARDS explains what should
be done to allow each of us to maximise our freedom and economic
potential. The evolving thoughts make it very clear as to what we
need to do if each of us is to be as free and as prosperous as is
possible within any community.
Love or hate GUARD OF THE GUARDS, it is a compulsory read,
especially by all of us who now feel that uncontrollable others
control our very existence.

"Ethonomics: an enquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth
of individuals". Guard of the Guards addresses what "Ethonomics"
had been hoping to prevent.
