It gives an inside glimpse of government and of our free enterprise system of governing. Its pages are replete with passages that expose the folly of "planned economy" and of "production for use" theories. One chapter, nationally quoted is "The Purge Comes to America", which has altered the thinking of millions. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
