DESCRIPTION OF GUARD OF THE GUARDS On your wish list, is liberty 1 and prosperity 2, or is prosperity 1 and liberty 2? Think again. Prioritising is misleading. Your 1 and 2 are intertwined. The book starts with our liberty interests in common. Yes, we have some. But our guards (our lawmakers) are now restricting even these. Democracy is no guarantor of any freedom, So the book ends with what seems impossible, how we could limit our guards to doing only what we all want. Then, alongside our liberty, we also want prosperity. For we spokes to be prosperous, our economy wheel needs to generate prosperity. To select guards who will not mess up our chance of prosperity, we need some economic knowledge. In everyday words the book covers what our government hub can and cannot do if we are to share maximised prosperity. For any wheel to keep spinning no spoke can bear more than its share of the weight. The search for employment at maximised wages includes what others treat as a separate issue - ownership effects. And the book integrates effects of the trade cycle, inflation, deflation, unstable banks, foreign trade and wage relativity between nations; and the welfare state, so tax and government debt. In amongst the economic review, is the explanation of what really caused the 2007 onwards "financial crash." The facts expose those responsible for causing such widespread misery. But overall, the evolving thoughts clarify what is needed for us to be both free and prosperous. Love or hate GUARD OF THE GUARDS, it is a compulsory read by all who think they understand economic theory. And love or hate GUARD OF THE GUARDS, it is a compulsory read by all who do notice today's endless erosion of freedom. No other book so clearly cross-relates political and economic life. And this book does end with the GUARD we do need if we are to preserve any freedom in our community. (c) 2015, Geoffrey G. Manners Note: in 1988 this author but as G. George Mann, published "Ethonomics: an enquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of individuals." Guard of the Guards addresses what "Ethonomics" had been hoping to prevent.
