The real crooks are those in The State who are stealing money from taxpayers via taxes (robbery) and inflation (thievery). I'd suggest that these crooks in the massive organized crime family known as the US Government are maliciously prosecuting T.L. Neal. I'd also note that an accusation does not mean someone is guilty, and that even if that is so, it is completely irrelevant to the advice given in this book (Dr. Atkins died of a heart-attack; that in no way impacts the debate on the health of his dietary plan). We should praise T.L. Neal for trying to help the victims of taxes and inflation.

But Shaq shouldn't even be a contender for #1, for several reasons, most of which has to do with personal will and determination. Shaq's been known as a whiner, and has done many things which have harmed his team (like putting off surgery until the last minute). I'm sorry, unless a player goes out there… Read more
But why read that from David Steele? I would almost say why even bother reading about Marx's wothless arguments? except that to demolish socialist beliefs, you need to understand them. If you're interested, I suggest you also read Mises' book "Socialism". The one negative reviewer of this book criticizes Steele for not discussing the algorithms of calculuation. I can say that standard mathematics in regards to economics is gravely flawed and quite frankly irrelevant. Human beings are individuals who can make choices, not solar bodies who's behaviour can be nearly perfectly predicted by mathematics. The only mathematics that has any hope of being relevant to economics and… Read more
