Pillars of Prosperity: Free Market, Honest Money, Private Property
Ron Pauleconomics to the forefront of political life. In doing so, he has
raised topics that nearly everyone else in public life wants buried.
But isn’t economics a dull topic, interesting only to Wall Street
traders and government bureaucrats? Isn’t it just about math and
graphs?
Not in Ron Paul’s view. He has an intensity of passion for the
discipline of economics that follows up on what Ludwig von Mises
believed. Economics is the pith of material life. It is the core body
of knowledge that seeks an explanation for all material phenomena as they are affected by human choice. Economics is as
unavoidable in politics as gravity is in the natural world. It is a
ubiquitous reality whether we speak about it openly or not.
Therefore everyone should be interested in economics. The
choice we make about our economic system will determine
whether we rise or fall as a people, whether our families will thrive
or die, and whether the future itself has a future.
