Introduction
The purpose of this work is to allow the
reader who is interested in some difficult economic topics to grasp them and
the free market viewpoint with very little effort. Having experienced the
frustration of attempting to counter some of the statist viewpoints common in
economic texts, news stories and other works and in discussions without such a
reference guide, I decided to produce just such a work.
The reader will find the topics to be
some of the most common ones about which anti-free market writers find fault
along with analysis of some technical items normally addressed in a modern
economics course with which this author finds fault. It is hoped that in the
space of one or two pages the reader will see the plausibility of the free
market perspective and the fallacy of the opposite view. Here, in a short space
the essence of the views will be presented with a reference listing for
material which the reader can consult if interested in further pursuing the
topic. This reference book provides an easy alternative source of information
for those unfamiliar with all of the works and arguments advanced in regard to
economic theory and the virtues of the free market.
