Can capitalism have moral foundations? Though this question may seem strange in today's world of vast economic disparities and widespread poverty, discussions originating with the birth of capitalism add a critical perspective to the current debate on the efficacy and morality of capitalist economies. Authors Daniel Halliday and John Thrasher use this question to introduce classical political philosophy as a framework by which to evaluate the ethics of capitalism today. They revisit and reconstruct historical eighteenth- and nineteenth-century defenses of capitalism, as written by key proponents such as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill. They ask what these early advocates of market order would say about contemporary economies, and argue for the importance of connecting these foundational defenses to discussions of economic systems and the roles they play in economic justice and injustice today. The textbook covers longstanding problems that are as old as the discussion of capitalism itself, such as wage inequality, global trade, and the connection between paid labor and human flourishing. It also addresses new challenges, such as climate change, the welfare state, and competitive consumption, and provides topical global case studies. Additionally, it includes study questions at the end of each chapter and an author-created companion website to help guide classroom discussion.

You'll learn what financial independence really is and how to overcome the problems and obstacles that keep most people from ever achieving it. In the Financial Security Bible, Mike chronicles his journey from the poverty stricken coal fields of southern West Virginia, to wealth and financial independence.

The first sentence explains Mike's feelings about sharing his knowledge. This book could easily be the best investment you will ever make. Mike Summey is an entrepreneur in the truest sense of the word. He is a successful author, speaker, business owner, and investor who lives on a beautiful private gated estate, flies his own propjet and has all the trappings of wealth, but it's not because of his high paying job, it's because of the income stream he has accumulated from his investments. Rarely does someone with his real world experience have the ability or desire to share what they have learned in the process of earning a PhD from the University of Hard Knocks.
