The Great Restoration and the New Republic is a treatise about the collapse of the world economy and the rise of the ideal republic. "I thought I had Walter when I said, "progressive policies are needed to protect people from the greed of the wealthy". Walter smiled again; you are misplacing the term 'greed'. Greed is ingrained in all people. It is a natural tendency to want an unrealistic return. Greed is not, has never been and never will be, a crime. If it were, we would all be in jail. Greed is a trait of human nature that, if not checked will lead to dire consequences. Fraud is what you are searching for to restrict and outlaw. People engaging in fraud are playing on the greed of the victim. Policing fraud is a legitimate function of government. For if a government allows fraud to occur, it is not a protecting the people. " This and many more observations that cover topics including health care, taxes, labor relations including why a Republic is a best form of Government and why a true Democracy leads to Tyranny.
