This review is from: The Law (Paperback)
This book is probably on the shelf of every Libertarian you'll every meet and is, for it's small size, a damning indictment of big government and the very real decay it produces in the human condition. If you believe governments proper form is as an extension of yourself and your civil liberties rather then you being an extension and subservient to government then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not How it Should Be, Oct 1 2010
This book is a must read for every parent in Canada. Education is the most important issue for their children and Roberta Maclise McDonald points out how successive provincial governments have let the quality of what children are being taught get to the point that Canada, as a nation, is seeing diminishing returns for a costly investment. Her call for a voucher system that can start returning control to the parents of both costs and what their children are learning is a much needed step in the right direction. One step on the road back to Canada's children having the basic knowledge they really need to compete in the real world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Little Simple Book about How a Nation Prospers, Jun 29 2010
Written in plain language complex ideas are explained to anyone who at times must wonder what the free market is and how it actually operates. With concise explanations the authors will make some of the most difficult concepts as clear as possible. If you want to understand the market and how it works this is an excellent first book for you to start your journey. As I always remind people three words in the English language that should not be used together in a single sentence are "Revenue Neutral Tax". This book will explain why they are, from a wealth creation and economics point of view, the deadliest words in any language.
