"Men cannot stop growing, nor can they continue making new things merely in imitation of what has been done. Each age must have its new tempo, its own plan and pattern, and must express itself soundly in the terms of that pattern and in the measure of that tempo." -- Albert H. Krehbiel, Saugatuck, Michigan, 1930

In a world torn by ideological conflict, this book confronts the issue of being objective, of finding and accepting the truth using only logic and reason. The author refutes the conventional wisdom that has forever given elites an excuse to rule the world. Exploding the left''s altruist moral fantasy and disproving their economic agenda, the book presents an opposing philosophy of true freedom and liberation, a starting-from-scratch argument for a political ideal called "individual rights" protected by a legal system called "democratic capitalism" based on an alternative morality of self-interest and a radical new concept of free will that claims "life creates itself."It delivers a withering criticism to the collectivism that drives the mixed economies of modern times and a rebuke to the government experts who created this ever-expanding mess of economic controls and ever-growing crony capitalism and ever-more-suffocating forms of welfare statism. But conservatives may not like the book either because of its qualified atheism and the way it shows their religiously inspired duty-to-others moral standard pursues the same end the collectivists do and this is why the welfare state was created in the first place. Major social issues are logically dissected and a theory of art rounds out the work to explain why today''s entertainment is so coarse and full of violence.
