Ownership is THE Key!, 20 Oct 2004
By Robert J. Scanlon "Bob Scanlon" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen: A Just Free Market Solution for Saving Social Security (Paperback)
I am not an economist but that has not prevented me from seeing the solid and compelling arguments laid out in this book to truly turn the United States into an "ownership" society. Many may feel we already have that. I would agree that we have it to a point. But, there are too many structural impediments to real democracy in the capital markets resulting in greater and greater polarization of wealth in our society. If unchecked, I fear that this trend will lead to more and more disengagement on the part of my fellow citizens.
The United States has always been a beacon to the entire world as a result of our economic and political freedom. This book offers a new economic paradigm that will not only continue that but, more over, significantly elevate the US even more as a source of new and exciting ideas that help EVERYONE build a better life.
The proposals in this book are bold. But they are so compelling and, at least in my view, so intuitively correct that they must be heard."

Very timely in an election year., 24 Aug 2004
By Daniel Kurland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen: A Just Free Market Solution for Saving Social Security (Paperback)
Our political leaders need to take a long, hard look at Capital Homesteading if they're truly serious about the future of our democracy. As it is currently structured, Social Security reminds me of a federally guaranteed Ponzi scheme. At what point are future generations going demand that they be allowed to opt out of a system that is becoming increasingly unfair?
Capital Homesteading offers a comprensive solution for restructuring Social Security around a new frontier, not one based on land, but based on a different kind of property. In the tradition of George Mason, Capital Homesteading offers a mechanism for ensuring that every individual would have the means of aquiring and possessing property in America's new frontier. Today, America's new frontier is limited only by the creative capacity of Americans to come up with better ideas, inventions, technology, and thrive in the global marketplace. Our political leaders need to adopt a national strategy for rebuilding our country as a nation of owners, because we are quickly becoming a nation of wage serfs. Such a strategy is sitting on the shelf, available at Amazon.com, waiting for a leader to adopt it as his own, and win the undecided voter.

excellent!!, 29 Jun 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capital Homesteading for Every Citizen: A Just Free Market Solution for Saving Social Security (Paperback)
This is a great book. The book offers solutions on how to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, encouraging employees to become owners of their company, overhauling the current taxation system, and reforming the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. I would recommend this book to everyone. You don't need whole lot of background in economic to read this book.
