| Publisher Description: A Monkey Could Do It: How Wall Street Robs Main Street, subtitled The Value of Work and The Values of Class Warfare ((c)2012 Lance Moore). "This book could change the world " Edward Wesley Drawing upon history, economics, religion, and compelling logic, Dr. Moore exposes the faulty ethics and greed behind mythical "free markets." And he makes the myth-busting an entertaining read, including the true story of a chimp who consistently picked stocks better than the high-paid "Masters of the Universe" on Wall Street. Topics include: -Who started Class Warfare -What the Bible REALLY says about socialism -What Jesus REALLY says about greed, taxes, and wealth -fake Meritocracy and the real worth of CEOs -Beyond Occupy Wall Street: Wall Street vs. Main Street -Capitalism: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly -Why free markets aren't free -Plutocracy and the Rising Fourth Reich -the growing gap between rich and poor -Greed as addiction -Bankers, usury, bubbles and derivatives -Welfare for the Rich, Taxes for the Poor -Monopolies, cartels and pyramids -Hope and Solutions beyond big government."Every responsible and virtuous citizen should read three things: the Scriptures, a daily newspaper... and this book " Dr. Thomas L. Butts"Going beyond OCCUPY WALL STREET, this book destroys the claim that excessive CEO paydays are ethical just because they are legal." Robin G. Hoode, Director/Founder of www.FireTheRich.orgDr. Moore does not advocate bigger government or communist-style seizure of property. "One principle of capitalism is indisputable: money motivates. But profit and productivity do not require a 'Girls Gone Wild' capitalism. A trained and reined racehorse runs faster than unbridled wild horses. It's time to re-examine the laissez-faire proposition that the 'invisible hand' of the market is an intelligent way to run our world. It's time for a new ethic, time to put people before profits, time to save the American Dream." |
