Summary:
An all-new paradigm-shifting
theory
of
capitalism
that will upturn conventional wisdom, just when
our
economy desperately needs a new direction. America's struggling economy needs a better philosophy than the college student's lament: "I can't be out of money, I still have checks in my checkbook!" We've tried a government spending spree, and we've learned it doesn't work. Now is the time to rededicate
our
country to the pursuit of free market
capitalism
, before we're buried under a mound of debt and unfunded entitlements. But
how
do we navigate between government spending that's too big to sustain and financial institutions that are "too big to fail?" George Gilder proposes a bold new
theory
on
how
capitalism
produces wealth and
how
our
economy can regain its vitality and its growth. Gilder breaks away from the supply-side model of economics to present a new economic paradigm: the epic conflict between the
knowledge
of entrepreneurs on one side, and the blunt
power
of government on the other. The
knowledge
of entrepreneurs, and their freedom to share and use that
knowledge
, are the sparks that light up the economy and set its gears in motion. The
power
of government to regulate, stifle, manipulate, subsidize or suppress
knowledge
and ideas is the inertia that slows those gears down, or keeps them from turning at all. George Gilder is a journalist, author and economic thinker who is credited with helping develop the supply-side economic
theory
.
