    29 Principles of Freedom, Prosperity, and Peace

    An argument that a specific set of political, legal, and economic principles—individual liberty, private property, limited government, separation of powers, sound money, and free markets—embedded in the American founding produced an unprecedented surge in prosperity and technological progress compared with earlier civilizations; the book traces historical examples, explains how those principles work to create wealth and freedom, and urges a return to constitutional governance and sound policy to preserve national flourishing.
