Planning Wealth

* Do taxes help more than they hurt?
* What effect does redistributing wealth have on our economy—and those who participate in its redistribution?
* What is the role of government?
* How does an economy work?

James Gwartney, Richard L. Stroup, and Dwight R. Lee are three of the most prominent economists today, and in Common Sense Economics they show us why economic understanding is an essential ingredient for life in today’s society, a key element that empowers those who possess it to better take charge of their own lives and their own responsibilities to their society. In clear, powerful language free of any hint of jargon or obscurity, they illuminate the basic principles of supply and demand, private ownership, trade, and more. In a world where free trade, taxes, and government spending are issues everyone needs to understand, Common Sense Economics is a lucid, simple explanation of how and why our economy and our world work the way they do, and how and why individuals and nations prosper.

The New York Times bestseller: A masterful account of today’s money culture, showing how the underpricing of risk leads to catastrophe. When it comes to markets, the first deadly sin is greed.

You already know about the devastating recession we’re in. Jobs are being cut by the tens of thousands. Real estate values are plummeting. Retirement plans and 401ks are going up in smoke. And then there’s rising inflation. And whether we like it or not, higher gasoline prices again are right around the corner.

Then there’s the ever-present confusion and dips in the stock market, and, whether we want to admit it or not, the fact that the world is finally beginning to run out of essential raw materials, such as silver, titanium, and, of course, oil.

Yes, the economy is definitely a wreck. Even worse, according to most experts, our problems are not going away soon. We’re going to be in serious financial trouble for a long time.

So . . . are you ready for some good news?

As you will discover in GAME OVER, bestselling author and investment advisor Dr. Stephen Leeb shows you how to not only survive in the current economic maelstrom but actually find a way to thrive.

The time to sit up and take action is now.

Dr. Leeb provides a clear-cut and well-crafted financial road map to protect every investor in the years to come. Specifically, he reveals which key investments will steadily rise . . . the best ways to hedge surging inflation . . . and which sectors will boom.

Many will lose their savings, watch their investments shrink, and never fulfill their financial dreams. But with Dr. Leeb’s advice, you can make sure yours come true.

EXPLODING THE MYTHS ABOUT MONEY Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been “privatized,” or taken over by a private money cartel. Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions — including the private Federal Reserve. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices — and robbing you of the value of your money. Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading. Then it explores a workable alternative, one that was tested in colonial America and is grounded in the best of American economic thought, including the writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. If you care about financial security, your own or the nation’s, you should read this book.

Find ways to have your debt cancelled.

Are you living a successful life or do you struggle living month to month? God has provided everything we need to be successful in life and He truly desires us to live a prosperous life.

He has also given us intelligence and talents to use for His kingdom and for our own benefit. In this book you will learn the true Biblical definition of success and how to achieve it. This book is written for the sole purpose of showing you how you may enjoy your portion of the earth’s profits.

Financial wealth may not guarantee happiness–but making the most of what you have as you live the life God has given you will help you find fulfillment and satisfaction that no amount of money can buy.

This book deals with money, which can be a sensitive subject for many people. We can feel guilty if we have it and guilty if we don’t. When it is mentioned in church, it is usually in relation to giving. However, we need to seek God’s teaching on how to handle all our money.

MONEY WITHOUT GUILT strips away the veil of hypocrisy from religion and in doing so it explodes the myth that one has to be poor in order to walk humbly and serenely with his God. On the other hand, it shows how true generosity and complete faith joined together will provide for the true believer a ten-fold return for “bread cast upon the waters.” The author’s ideas are documented with a myriad of biblical accounts, parables, true-life stories and words of wisdom from such greats as Napoleon Hill, as well as insights into his own history. MONEY WITHOUT GUILT is written clearly and is completely literate. Thus reader interest is held from the first page to the last. And that, after all, is the IMPORTANT THING. Since the first edition of MONEY WITHOUT GUILT was published in 1978, by consistently applying the principles contained in it, the author built an investment portfolio worth three million dollars ($3,000,000) with real estate holdings in four states: Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Ohio. In 1986 Rose received twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) in an out of court settlement of a race discrimination suit against Forrest City Auto Parts (the company was selling African Americans parts for three times as much as it was selling them to their white customers). True to the principles of “Seed Money,” he established the Save Our Children Scholarship Trust Fund, and he continues to give any honorariums that he receives from speaking engagements, and the sale of his books and tapes to that fund. On October 1, 2007, Rose gave two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) to Save Our Children, inc. from the sale of some of his Georgia real estate holdings. Rose said he considered the gift just another investment. “After all, he says, “you can no more give without receiving than you can sow without reaping.” IT IS THE LAW.
