Makers and Takers

Makers and Takers: How Wealth and Progress Are Made and How They Are Taken Away or Prevented
by Edmund Contoski

"Makers and Takers" shows how the free market works -- and why government intervention doesn't. It examines various forms of economic intervention (taxation, regulation, monetary policy) and their effects on consumer products and services, the health and lives of Americans, and the nation's economic well-being. The book also explores a broad range of environmental issues. Scientific subjects such as pollution, acid rain and global warming are explained in clear, nontechnical language -- and some surprising facts here discredit current government policies.
