Synopsis
Discover what sets a fair and just economy apart from the rest In Un-Civilizing America - How Win-Win Deals Made Us Rich , bestselling author William Bonner delivers an incisive and engrossing account of the American economy, the four simple steps to earning money the honest way, and why many choose the dishonest way instead. He also discusses the shadow groups that influence America behind the scenes and how their power grew so large they lost the need to remain hidden, and what really drives the government's phony wars--including the War on Drugs and the US-China trade war. In the book, you'll learn why the best kinds of economies run on "win-win" deals and how companies and individuals use market-set prices to maximize their utility. You'll also discover: Why the "Sermon on the Mount" was the best economic and social advice ever given How civilization developed and the one thing that sets it apart from barbarity How "win-lose" deals inevitably force one side or the other to accept the terms of the "agreement" Why allowing only one side to profit in an arrangement is a recipe for disaster in the long run Why capitalism favors "win-win" deals while socialism prefers the "win-lose" variety A can't-miss resource for anyone interested in American or global economics and finance, Un-Civilizing America will also earn a place on the bookshelves of business leaders, entrepreneurs, policy and lawmakers, and regulators., Un-Civilizing America: How Win-Win Deals Make Us Better is an engrossing and startingly incisive look at the dynamics of the America economy. Bestselling author William Bonner explains the difference between "win-win" and "win-lose" deals, and why capitalistic economies lead to good manners as well as prosperity. You'll also learn why collectivist economies and central planning reduce human satisfaction by forcing people to do things they don't want to. The book examines the shadowy groups that control much of the American economy behind the scenes, and how they've recently become so powerful that they've lost the need to remain hidden. You'll discover how these groups are the driving force behind many of America's "phony wars"-including the War on Drugs and the US-China trade war-and the effects they have on the American economy as a whole. A fascinating and insightful take on American and global economics, politics, and finance, Un-Civilizing America offers a singular perspective on what really motivates the behaviors and decisions of influential people and organizations in the United States. You'll also see why depending on the elites to solve the problems of war, inequality or inflation is futile.
