Book Description
The 2008 housing bubble bailouts were the largest financial scandal in History. Tens of trillions of dollars were needed to prop up institutions which had engaged in fraud. This wasn't the result of a lack of regulations. This was the result of criminal behavior. Investment banks illegally bribed rating agencies, so they could offload toxic securities onto third parties. Private profits and public debt could not work without the marriage between business and state. But it is not just in banking where the reverse Midas touch of government rears its rotten finger. Everything from healthcare, to education to the military to even the mail is made more expensive and dysfunctional by "government help." The Left wants big business out of government and the right wants the government out of business. The blame for which side is corrupting which is faulty logic. It is the relationship between the two that gives rise to the plutocracy. Making matters worse, is how the cult of political correctness and SJW outrage culture, turns every issue into a race/sex/prejudice issue. This, "agree with us or you're a Nazi," bully tactic has in a great degree silenced many reasonable solutions and ideas. In nearly every industry the problems can be resolved by separating business and state.

Book Description
Government is not the solution; it is the problem. It is vital for us to understand its complicity in the facilitation of history's most enormous financial scandals, corporate welfare and war-for-profit. To understand how detrimental government is, just have a look at what government meddling has done to all the industries with which it is involved: education, road construction, the mail, healthcare, agriculture, energy, banking and trade. As Chris Hedges once said, "We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy." He was half right; it was when all of those institutions became burdened with government intervention that they began to fail so miserably. Advocates of big government like to imagine scenarios of what government could do to regulate crony capitalism, prevent fraud and curb the police state. Unfortunately, their solutions assume a government not riddled with the legalized bribery of corporate lobbies, not to mention government officials above abusing their position to further their own business interests. Various government agencies themselves now behave like businesses. Where their interests align with those of private industry, they reward their corporate partners through government favoritism. Our government does not prevent cronyism; it facilitates it. We cannot reform the regulations until we reform the system itself. Government projects often become a means of transferring wealth from the public to the government (with a choice piece of the pie going to favored industries, of course). People spending other people's money tend to have little incentive to be cost-efficient, especially when the debts which they create fall upon the people from whom they initially borrowed the money rather than themselves. The moment people realized they could vote themselves money, democracy was dead. The government is the largest purveyor of violence in the world today, and a greater threat to stability than any other terrorist group or nation state. The US can, and does, intervene militarily based on very flimsy excuses. Our government does not provide peace and defense; it actively seeks pretexts to go on the offensive and murders millions. Questioning militarism has been spun so that opposing war is cast as opposing the soldiers themselves. The government has also facilitated the modern central banking system. Banks now issue loans larger than the actual reserves in existence, creating an unsustainable cycle whereby they collect interest on sums of money they never possessed, and creating debts greater than the amount of money that actually exists. Without the power and protection of government, bad banks would fail naturally. The press wouldn't be compromised by executives who serve on the boards of the Pentagon's largest defense contractors. Courts would no longer be a place to award corporate bias through the reinterpretation of law. We can no longer turn to the mainstream media outlets to inform us of these problems, as they are now firmly under the control of the US regime, in a manner on par with that of the former Soviet Union. Reforming mass media is a lost cause; abandoning it for independent media is a more viable and realistic option. It is through books like this one that the modern citizen must inform himself about what is really going on in the world today. The first step is to understand the system through which banks, industries, media, and the government collaborate to make things the way they are. Once we understand that system, we can begin to chip away at the disease they represent, by attacking it at the root. Keep government out of the marketplace; separate business and state.

Book Description
Over time, corporations have engaged in an aggressive campaign to dramatically enlarge their political and commercial speech and religious rights through strategic litigation and extensive lobbying. At the same time, many large firms have sought to limit their social responsibilities. For the most part, courts have willingly followed corporations down this path. But interestingly, corporations are meeting resistance from many quarters including from customers, investors, and lawmakers. Corporate Citizen? explores this resistance and offers reforms to support these new understandings of the corporation in contemporary society.

Book Description
In a powerful challenge to conventional wisdom, Philip Hamburger argues that the separation of church and state has no historical foundation in the First Amendment. The detailed evidence assembled here shows that eighteenth-century Americans almost never invoked this principle. Although Thomas Jefferson and others retrospectively claimed that the First Amendment separated church and state, separation became part of American constitutional law only much later. Hamburger shows that separation became a constitutional freedom largely through fear and prejudice. Jefferson supported separation out of hostility to the Federalist clergy of New England. Nativist Protestants (ranging from nineteenth-century Know Nothings to twentieth-century members of the K.K.K.) adopted the principle of separation to restrict the role of Catholics in public life. Gradually, these Protestants were joined by theologically liberal, anti-Christian secularists, who hoped that separation would limit Christianity and all other distinct religions. Eventually, a wide range of men and women called for separation. Almost all of these Americans feared ecclesiastical authority, particularly that of the Catholic Church, and, in response to their fears, they increasingly perceived religious liberty to require a separation of church from state. American religious liberty was thus redefined and even transformed. In the process, the First Amendment was often used as an instrument of intolerance and discrimination.

Book Description
Each branch of American government possesses inherent advantages and disadvantages in structure. In this book, the author relies on a separation-of-powers analysis that emphasizes the advantage of the legislature to draft precise words to fit intended situations, the judiciarys advantage of being able to do justice in an individual case, and the executives homogeneity and flexibility, which best suits it to decisions of an ad hoc nature. Identifying these structural abilities, the author analyzes major public policy issues, including gun control, flag burning, abortion, civil rights, war powers, suing the President, legislative veto, the exclusionary rule, and affirmative action. Each issue is examined not from the point of view of determining the right outcome, but with the intention of identifying the branch of government most appropriate for making the decision.
