Is the U.S. economy truly just a giant free-for-all that encourages duplicity in our everyday transactions? Is everyone from corporate CEOs to your local car salesman really looking to make a buck at your expense?  In Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't,  economist and bestselling author John R. Lott, Jr., answers these and other common economic questions, bravely confronting the profound distrust of the market that the bestselling book Freakonomics has helped to popularize. Using clear and hard-hitting examples, Lott shows how free markets liberate the best, most creative, and most generous aspects of our society--while efforts to constrain economic liberty, no matter  how well-intentioned, invariably lead to increased poverty and injustice. Extending  its rigorous economic analysis even further to our political and criminal justice  systems, Freedomnomics reveals:  ? How the free market creates incentives for people to behave honestly  ? How political campaign restrictions keep incumbents in power  ? Why legalized abortion leads to family breakdown, which creates more crime  ? Why affirmative action in police departments leads to higher crime rates  ? How women's suffrage led to a massive increase in the size of government  · Why women become more conservative when they get married and more  liberal when they get divorced  ? How secret ballots reduce voter participation  ? Why state-owned companies and government agencies are much more likely to engage in unfair predation than are private firms  ? Why the controversial assertions made in the trendy book Freakonomics are almost entirely wrong  Entertaining, persuasive, and based on dozens of economic studies spanning decades, Freedomnomics not only shows how free markets really work--but proves that, when it comes to promoting prosperity and economic justice, nothing works better.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49598330077457,"sku":"GOR007659517","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50385704386833,"sku":"CIN1596985062G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393259737361,"sku":"CIN1596985062A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50420171276561,"sku":"CIN1596985062VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1596985062.jpg?v=1750926722"},{"product_id":"war-on-guns-book-john-r-lott-jr-jr-9781621575801","title":"The War on Guns","description":"When it comes to the gun control debate, there are two kinds of data: data that's accurate, and data that left-wing billionaires, liberal politicians, and media want you to believe is accurate. In The War on Guns: Arming Yourself Against Gun Control Lies (Regnery Publishing; $27.99; 978-1621575801), nationally-renowned economist John R. Lott, Jr. turns a skeptical eye to well-funded anti-gun studies and stories that perpetuate false statistics to frighten Americans into giving up their guns.    In this, his latest and most important book, The War on Guns, Lott offers the most thorough debunking yet of the so-called “facts,” “data,” and “arguments” of anti-gun advocates, exposing how they have repeatedly twisted or ignored the real evidence, the evidence that of course refutes them on every point.    In The War on Guns, you’ll learn:    Why gun licenses and background checks don’t stop crime How “gun-free” zones actually attract mass shooters Why Stand Your Ground laws are some of the best crime deterrents we have Women now hold over a quarter of concealed handgun permits How big-money liberal foundations and the federal government are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into “public health” studies, the sole purpose of which is to manufacture false data against guns How media bias and ignorance skew the gun debate—and why it will get worse From 1950-2010, not a single mass public shooting occurred in an area where general civilians are allowed to carry guns","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49692755099921,"sku":"CIN1621575802G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50330261487889,"sku":"CIN1621575802VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52394844487953,"sku":"CIN1621575802A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1621575802.jpg?v=1750896189"},{"product_id":"straight-shooting-book-john-r-lott-jr-jr-9780936783475","title":"Straight Shooting","description":"In his newest book, John Lott gives you the information you need to win the arguments with those who want to ban guns and destroy your individual freedom and liberty to pursue the American dream.Straight Shooting contains Professor Lott's best columns from Publications like National Review, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Investor's Business Daily, Kansas City Star, New York Post, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, USA Today and scores of others.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365913858321,"sku":"CIN0936783478G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50972276031761,"sku":"CIN0936783478VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52705608401169,"sku":"GOR014589843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0936783478.jpg?v=1750948430"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-john-r-lott-jr-jr.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
