Jim Evans is a businessman. That’s his occupation. His preoccupation is human liberty, and for many years he has worked tirelessly on behalf of the free society-free economy philosophy. He has lectured widely and frequently, he has appeared on radio and television, and now we have his second book. Give us a thousand businessman like Evans, and we’d soon have ten thousand more—and the nation would regain its health.

It may have been The Foundation (FEE) that, years ago, turned Jim Evans on—as he generously says in the book’s dedication—but it’s his own steam that keeps him going now, working toward a new birth of liberty.

His book is crammed with pertinent factual information, which he buttresses with solid chains of reasoning and striking examples. A most convincing combination. In eighteen concise chapters Evans (a) presents an eloquent statement of our American heritage, (b) explodes the myths back of the anti-free economy stance, (c) reveals the extent to which we have implemented the ten points of The Communist Manifesto, (d) writes an expert critique of majoritarianism—and much more.
