Tired of struggling economically? Me too.

George Gilder offers an explanation and a solution: restoring monetary integrity.

I’m not alone in my admiration for this book. Conjoin the praise of Reaganomics’ co-architect Dr. Arthur Laffer’s “Thirty-five years ago, George Gilder wrote Wealth and Poverty, the bible of the Reagan Revolution.

They don’t. George Gilder … is our best guide to our most fundamental economic problems.”
