There is a library name stamp on the upper page edge. The book looks good otherwise with only light wear and no marks. In contemporary America, a growing faction, encompassing figures such as Michael Moore and the New York Times, as well as sectors like Hollywood and academia, is actively waging a campaign against capitalism. According to this group, rapacious plutocrats exploit the American populace, capitalism negatively impacts consumers, the working class, and the environment, and the government must curtail capitalism's influence. These anti-capitalist arguments have only intensified following corporate scandals such as Enron and WorldCom. In fact, the 2004 presidential campaign has witnessed frequent demands for re-regulation of the American economy. However, Thomas J. DiLorenzo dismantles these anti-capitalist arguments in his book, "How Capitalism Saved America." As an economics professor, DiLorenzo illustrates how capitalism has transformed America into the world's most prosperous nation. Furthermore, he demonstrates how the very government regulations endorsed by politicians and pundits have hindered economic growth, led to higher unemployment rates, increased prices, and caused various other issues. DiLorenzo takes readers on a captivating journey through crucial moments in American history, ranging from the Pilgrims to Bill Gates. Similar to his previous work, "The Real Lincoln," DiLorenzo dispels several misconceptions that have become widely accepted as truths. "How Capitalism Saved America" reveals extraordinary instances, including how the implementation of a capitalist system rescued the Pilgrims from starvation, how the American Revolution largely rebelled against Britain's stifling economic controls, and how the so-called "robber barons" significantly enhanced the lives of millions of Americans through the provision of superior goods at lower prices. DiLorenzo also challenges the notion that the New Deal exacerbated the Great Depression, argues that deregulation resolved the energy crisis of the 1970s, and refutes the claim that it was the cause behind recent blackouts in California and the Northeast. "How Capitalism Saved America" delivers a thought-provoking and dynamic account of popular history.
