"This is a brilliant and passionate book by a brilliant and passionate man," writes Milton Friedman. "It is a profound analysis of the suicidal course on which our beloved country is proceeding -- so clearly and so simply written, with such eloquence, such obvious sincerity, such a broad base in recorded fact and personal experience, that it is hard to see how any reasonable man who wishes his fellow citizens well can fail to be persuaded by it." " I can assure the reader," writes F.A. Hayek, "that Mr. Simon is not UNDULY an alarmist. If we learn from him and the few people who think like him, we may still avert the threatening collapse of our political and economic order." With such endorsements from TWO Nobel Prize-winning economists, it is obvious that William E. Simon has written one of the most significant books for our country in this perilous time. In this book, Mr. Simon presents both his personal philosophy and an insider's revealing picture of the Nixon and Ford Administrations. He substantiates his important message with the wider perspective he gained in his stormy Washington years. His aim is to inspire all Americans to a critical awareness of the real and unbreakable connection between economic and political freedom. To lose one is to lose the other. To lose one is to lose the other. And we are losing both, he warns, in the wake of the expanding state. But Mr. Simon does more than warn us, more than reveal the dangers of too much government: he offers a blueprint for a "counter-intelligentsia" to preserve our freedom." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
