Free Chapter of Meltdown — And Other News, Too

Welcome to all those who have heard about Meltdown on the radio or via other outlets in recent days.  Download a free chapter!

In other news, the audiobook version is now available.  (Someone who wrote to ask me about it gave me an email address that didn’t work, so if you never heard back from me, that’s why.)

Check out this brief and funny interview Young Americans for Liberty did with me, as well as my speech at CPAC (part 1, part 2).

March 19 UPDATE: On March 29 the book will enter its fifth week on the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover nonfiction.  Thanks for buying it, and promoting a perspective on the crisis that challenges what Americans are being fed by the drones on television.

    Heard you on Bill Handel – KFI 640 this morning and you make a lot of sense. I will be getting your book and pray some of the people in charge will also.

    I also heard you on Bill Handel. You made some excellent points. I’m going to check out your book. Good luck.

    I’ve read your book twice now. This cries out to be turned into a documentary (a.k.a as much as I hate to say it “Inconvenient Truth”). In this way its important messages would be most effective in reaching the non-book-reading youth of today.

    Yes, I’d love to see a documentary version.

    I listened to the audio book on my commute to and from work. Congrats on a great book! I’m recommending it to as many people as I can. The current economy makes a great example of the result of Keynesian economics and the larceny inherent in “democracy” (socialist, fascist or otherwise).

    Amazing book! So easy to understand.

    Great interview with the Young Americans. Thank you for thinking of your family before a political career, not to mention saving your own sanity. The fact is Washington needs to listen to we the people, especially those people on the New York Times’ bestseller list for non-fiction. Why does one need to be an elected official to make a difference?

    Great book too! I love the reading list and in-depth footnotes, as it gives one more materials to learn from. Did anyone else notice Audacity of Hope didn’t even have a bibliography (except online) or a reference section? Almost like fiction.

    I heard you on with Bubba the Love Sponge, and really liked hearing what you had to say, figured I had to check out your site.
