“The free enterprise concept inherent in the economic model of capitalism should mean common people, or lower and middle class wage-earners, have greater potential to rise up and gain financial independence. In reality, however, free enterprise all too often leads to an almost total lack of government regulation that in turn allows the global elite to run amuck in Gordon Gecko-style financial coups.” PeopleShouldMeanRealityGovernmentRunningTurnsCommonClassGreaterEconomicMiddleStyleModelsConceptsCapitalismGainsIndependenceFinancialEnterpriseMiddle ClassElitesRegulationInherentFree EnterpriseCoupsGovernment RegulationFinancial IndependenceEconomic Models Author:James Morcan

“Service is selflessness--the opposite of the lifestyle that we see so much of in America today. The things that entertain us don't often lift us up, or show us as the people we can rise up to become. The people who appear in this book--and others who did things I can't talk about--are my role models.
