Meltdown- now #15 on Amazon charts --- let's get it to #1!

[Bryan]

This is big everyone. Thomas Woods new book "Meltdown" is a great opportunity for our movement since it can really hit a wide audience as it climbs the best seller lists. Already being #15 at Amazon (just passing Obama's book), people that are looking for a good read will see this book on the best sellers front page. This is already a big deal and we can make it bigger.

If you already haven't, buy a copy or two. Sell the second copy to someone in your meet-up who will want it when they see it in hand but otherwise might not order it. Or lend out a copy to non-political friends. I bought two copies today- you get free shipping that way too. :)

We added a banner at the top of the forum for this. Let's spread the message and buy some books!

So who's in?

We need to make this thing a best seller.

Glenn Beck is having him on his show to promote it.

Again, I'll mention it's calculated and more than likely not genuine. But this is great, you certainly can't pass up the opportunity.

Just, if you have any mates, family members or friends who watch the show - use it as an amazing opportunity to point them to mises.org and lewrockwell.com

Make sure they're watching the interview that day. Then mention, Beck get's it wrong sometimes, and with the Austrian School of economics (they predicted this etc..) you get truth, 24hrs a day.

:D

I'm getting it next time I buy some books. I'm currently finishing up DiLorenzo's "Hamilton's Curse" and just recieved Rothbard's "Education: Free & Compulsory" and Thorton's "Economics of Prohibition" today in the mail....I also have Garet Garrett's "People's Pottage" in the "to read" stack.

So many books, so little time!!! ;)

Bump. Didn't know about this book - does it cover derivatives? That's something I don't know much about. There's been plenty of increases in regulation over the years but that was one thing that was deregulated (under Clinton) and contributed greatly to the crisis. Or if someone can recommend an article that discusses free markets and derivatives, that'll help

Bump. I'm gonna transfer some money to PayPal tomorrow, perhaps I'll buy it.

I have some other books that are more of a priority, though. We'll see.

Great job everyone. Remember, you can help as much by spreading the message on this- forward to meet-up lists, post on Facebook, MySpace, etc, etc, etc. :) That's what I've done. :)

THe only 1-Star review:


By Stephen Lurie

Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse

The current economic global crisis plain and simply was fueled by greed. Investor greed and the apparently insatiable greed of the Investment Banker community. Compared to Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns and the rest of the soon to be extinct Wall Street gang, Bernard Madoff should get a good citizens award. Wall Street, not the Fed, ripped off the world. Before you read this nonsense, you might want to read The End, by Michael Lewis on portfolio.com. In nine pages you will have a very clear account of what happened and who is to blame.

LOL at the 2nd response:
