The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand

About Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead:

The Fountainhead "... is the story of an intransigent young architect, of his violent battle against the world's standards and conventions, and of his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who loved him passionately, yet struggled to defeat him."

The Fountainhead "... is based on a challenging belief in the importance of selfishness, on the provocative idea that man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress. It is chiefly the story of Howard Roark, Architect -- a man whose sole aim in life was to build, and to build not in the tradition of the past but only in the tradition of Howard Roark."

"Ellsworth Toohey, champion of the downtrodden, was one of the few people who understood Roark and was smart enough to know why he wanted Roark destroyed. Ellsworth Toohey's characterization in The Fountainhead is a beautifully achieved picture of the inherent viciousness in apparently benign humanitarianism."

"Dominique Franchon understood Roark and loved him, but she too tried once to destroy him."

"These are [some of] the important characters of a truly great book. Ayn Rand has written a dramatic, action-filled book of tremendous scope against a fascinating background of a profession heretofore little described in fiction."

"Brilliantly written and daringly original, here is a novel about a hero -- and about those who tried to destroy him."

For the New Intellectual - The Philosophy of Ayn Rand, by Ayn Rand

About Ayn Rand's For the New Intellectual:

"Who are to be the New Intellectuals?"
"Any man or woman who is willing to think. All those who know that man's life must be guided by reason, those who value their own life and are not willing to surrender it to the cult of despair in the modern jungle of cynical impotence, just as they are not willing to surrender the world to the Dark Ages and the rule of the brutes."

"In the introductory essay 'For the New Intellectual' -- a tour de force of psychological-philosophical interpretation -- Ayn Rand offers an analysis of Western culture, the causes of its progress, its decline, its present crisis, and the road to an intellectual renaissance."

"This book presents the essentials of Ayn Rand's philosophy 'for those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence'. In the title essay she offers an analysis of Western culture, discusses the causes of its progress, its decline, its present bankruptcy, and points the road to an intellectual renaissance."

"What is the essence of her philosophy? That man's mind is fully competent to perceive reality -- that reason is man's exclusive tool of knowledge and his only guide to action -- that man is an end to himself, not a means to the ends of others, and that rational self-interest is the moral purpose of his life -- that justice, not self-sacrifice, is the proper principle of social relationships -- that 'a free mind and a free market are corollaries,' and their politico-economic expression is laissez-faire capitalism."

Born Again Republic, by Red Beckman

About Red Beckman's Born Again Republic:

Fear of the I.R.S. permeates our society. Our government consumes over half the wealth produced by our productive people. The hard-working citizen is forced to pay and pay as government becomes an insane monster.

We, the people, did this to ourselves. The I.R.S. has no power to send a taxpayer to jail. The people are called for jury duty and it is the guilty verdict of that jury which gave the I.R.S. its power to terrorize and abuse.

Can we find one good, informed, and hard-headed citizen on each and every jury who will say 'NOT GUILTY', 'NOT GUILTY' until he either hangs the jury or educates the rest of the jury?

Will you vote on the jury to protect your fellow citizens from bad law written by dishonest politicians? Will you vote yourself free of fear and big government? Your vote on the jury is your most important vote. Vote for 'We the People'.

What Revolution?

A Plea for the Constitution of the United States, Wounded in the House of Its Guardians by George Bancroft

About A Plea for the Constitution of the United States, by George Bancroft:

George Bancroft knew the intent of the framers, expounders, and executors of the United States Constitution better, perhaps, than any of his contemporaries. Born in 1800, he had personally talked with James Madison, John Adams...

Too, he was well-qualified to discuss our Constitution as it applied to foreign nations, having been Secretary of the Navy and founder of the Naval Academy at Annapolis...

From the Introduction:

Good money must have an intrinsic value. The United States of America cannot make its shadow legal tender for debts payable in money without ultimately bringing upon their foreign commerce, and their home industry a catastrophe ...

Table of Contents for A Plea for the Constitution:

Preface
Introduction
History of American Bills of Credit
Further History of Bills of Credit
The Doors Shut Against Paper Money
The Court and the Constitution
What is to be Done?

About None Dare Call it Conspiracy, by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham:

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, is a must read. Forget the blather of the left and the right and religious wackos. This novel is an in-your-face analysis of what's going on -- why this economy and political system is collapsing.

It was science fiction in the 1950s. It's reality today.
