Reseña del editor:

Completely updated edition of one of the classic works of conservative literature Long before the advent of conservative talk radio and Fox News, Robert Ringer was an outspoken advocate for the cause of freedom and free enterprise. In this classic work updated for the 21st century Ringer s basic premise is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives. The economic and political calamity that he warned about in the late seventies is now upon us, and his new edition of Restoring the American Dream is sure to resonate with the feelings of today s angry voters. In his book, Ringer explains that: The American Dream is not about increased government benefits and government-created rights, but, rather, about individualism, self responsibility, and freedom including the freedom to succeed or fail on one s own The barbarians are not at the gates; they are already inside Ordinary citizens no longer tell their elected officials what to do. Rather, government tells them what to do and backs it up with force The desire of people to band together to bring about quick, short term solutions to their problems through government intervention has perpetuated a cycle that has nearly destroyed the American Dream With Washington continuing to expand government power and spending at a record pace, Restoring the American Dream is a voice of sanity in a world gone mad.

Contraportada:

Praise for RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM

"Restoring the American Dream is a timeless classic, right up there with Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and F.A. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. Written in Robert Ringer's trademark easy-to-understand style, it presents an irrefutable case for both the moral and economic superiority of liberty." ?Arthur B. Laffer, PhD

"With Washington growing bigger and bigger by the day and distancing itself further and further from our precious Constitution and founding principles, the timing could not be better for Robert Ringer's classic Restoring the American Dream. What a gift this important work is to a nation yearning for liberty and freedom." ?Michele Bachmann, United States Congresswoman (R-Minnesota)

"When Robert Ringer first wrote Restoring the American Dream, he courageously challenged readers to return to the core American values of the primacy of the individual and the necessity for fidelity to the constitutional limitations on the powers of the government. He was right on the mark then and he is right on the mark now. In his new edition of this timeless book, he brilliantly makes the case that freedom is the default position in human affairs." ?Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Fox News

"When Robert Ringer's classic Restoring the American Dream was first published, it introduced millions to the philosophy of natural law and private property rights that provide the moral basis for the free society. It is good to see this important work updated and revised for a new generation." ?Ron Paul, United States Congressman (R-Texas)

"Restoring the American Dream could transfuse a new generation with love and respect for the individual. This vital book arrives not a moment too soon. Robert Ringer will be read for generations to come. But Restoring the American Dream is needed right now, when liberty is under siege, when the future of the nation is in doubt, and when what is good in the soul of man can still heed Ringer's call to action." ?Dr. Keith Ablow, author of Living the Truth: Transform Your Life

Through the Power of Insight and Honesty

"In this classic text, in lucid prose, Robert Ringer lays out the basic principles of a free society. It is these principles that made the American dream a reality. And it is these principles by which it can be restored." ?David Horowitz, founder, David Horowitz Freedom Center
