October 19, 2004: 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.'

June 29, 2004: 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.
