O knihe
Pants on Fire explores the lies that govern America-why people go along with them and what it costs to do so. It reveals the plutocracy that benefits and examines what needs to be done to bring back a true democracy.
It's no secret: The wealthy demand-and get-what they want from the system at the expense of everyone else. Seven key lies advance their agenda:
. The way to grow the economy is to stimulate the people at the top.
. Loose money is another way to grow the economy.
. The stock market is the best investment and the best economic indicator.
. Executive compensation is tied to performance.
. Regulation is bad; deregulation is good.
. Bailing out Wall Street was necessary to preserve the system.
. The health care question is about who pays.
These beliefs are driving the biggest financial crisis in modern history, fueling unjust wars and contributing to a society ready to explode with anger. Provocative and funny, Pants on Fire goes beyond the lies to provide solutions so that everyone can share the wealth.
