Book Synopsis

America is hurtling toward socialism. What should a free-market capitalist do with his money? Economist Jerry Bower, a frequent contributor to the National Review, Townhall, and Forbes online editions, presents a crucial investment guide for laissez faire thinkers as the nation enters its most disturbingly anti-wealth and anti-business era in history.

From the Back Cover

America has already tilted decisively toward socialism. Conservatives have not yet succeeded in reversing the tide.

What should free market capitalists do with their money?

Barack Obama has aggressively pushed the American economy toward socialism. Maybe it will stick, maybe it won't. In the meantime, what should the rest of us do with our money? In this unique and timely book, economist Jerry Bowyer combines critical analysis of Obama's economic policies with sound investment guidelines for free market capitalists. Under Obama, taxes have risen, energy has become more expensive, regulation has increased, corporate stocks have suffered, credit remains tight, and national markets continue to flounder. Bowyer explains why this is happening and offers helpful advice on how to profit under the new anti-growth regime--for as long as it lasts.

Bowyer's rules for prospering in an anti-wealth environment

1. Leftism won't work: don't invest in it.
2. Don't invest in specific industries that politicians are focused on.
3. Invest in solutions to leftism.
4. Invest in alternatives to the institutions destroyed by the left.
5. When the government hates things that are big, be small.
6. When the government trashes contracts, invest in people who don't need them.
7. Find cities of refuge.
