Revolution by Ron Paul

I have been reading a number of books concurrently and finished two at nearly the same time. Perhaps is was coincidental, perhaps not, but this thesis of American Politics hit on so many themes that were present in the biography of Thomas Jefferson I was simultaneously reading, it felt a little preordained.

I like Ron Paul. I didn't know enough about him before to know why I liked him. Now I can say I like and respect him. The way his laid out his philosophies in this book was brilliant. Problem, reason, solution, consequence. Pretty clear cut and makes reading a delight. Chapters are, for the most part, independent and stand alone. I already know I will pick this book up again in the future to look back at his philosophy in health care, or America as a world empire. Although I am happy that Barack Obama was elected president, I would have voted differently if I had read this book pre-election. Such a competent, laid out plan, with a real understanding of economics and what our founding fathers knew so plainly.

I recommend this book to anyone who has problems with our government and, even more so, to those who are content with it.
