John Wiley & Sons Inc The Conscience of a Libertarian
Book SynopsisLibertarian-conservative solutions to the political, social, economic and tax issues facing the United States from a 2012 Third Party Presidential contender, as well as one of America''s leading Tea Party political leaders In today''s uncertain economy, people are growing more and more concerned about their financial future, and looking for common sense, limited government solutions. In The Conscience of a Libertarian: Empowering the Citizen Revolution with God, Guns, Gold & Tax Cuts, 2008 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee Wayne Allyn Root presents a passionate case for smaller government; dramatically reduced spending and taxes; States'' Rights; free markets; adherence to the Constitution; an end to the Fed; a ban of bailouts, stimulus, earmarks, pork and corporate welfare; economic and personal freedom; and a return of power to the people, just as the Founding Fathers intended. The book Explains why Obama''s big government solutions areTrade Review"In your heart, you know he's right. Channeling Barry Goldwater for a modern audience, Root does a great job of adapting his mentor's classic for 21st century America. My guess is that the principles of Goldwater, shepherded by Root, will be a benchmark for reform in this age of political and economic crisis." —-Peter Schiff, President, Euro Pacific Capital, Author of Best-Seller "Crash Proof" "Root takes no prisoners, leaves no doubt how the disaster came to be; Root names-names but blames both Democrat and Republican administrations for over-spending, inflating the size and reach of government and creating a welfare state that is a form of slavery even as it continues to bleed taxpayers. Root has solutions. To me, he's the only candidate who's articulate, powerful in presentation, and RIGHT. He presents his views with vigor and clarity on every occasion. He comes across great because he speaks truth from the heart, of America, to America, for America." — Dr. John Hospers, First Libertarian United States Presidential Candidate; Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Southern California "Wayne Allyn Root (WAR) means business. In "The Conscience of a Libertarian," he is declaring WAR on big government, big spending, big taxes, big unions, big business, arrogant career politicians, lawyers, lobbyists, and the media elite. What a refreshing change to read the words and ideas of a small businessman, homeschool dad, son of a butcher, and citizen statesman. This book is a must read for libertarians, conservatives, disillusioned Republicans, independents, and anyone who wants to cut the size and scope of government dramatically, and return power to individuals. Instead of just criticisms, Wayne provides common-sense solutions for limited government, economic and personal freedom, and protecting our Constitution. I can feel our Founding Fathers looking down and smiling." —-Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Fox News Channel, Senior Judicial Analyst; Host of "Brian and the Judge" on FOX News Radio and "FreedomWatch" on FOXNews.com Table of ContentsAcknowledgments. Publisher's Note.

He has held numerous related Trade Review'This is the first textbook on public sector accounting for non-specialists. The authors offer a well written text and an easy-to-digest introduction into the difficult terminology of accounting and into its basic concepts. All major issues of public accounting are presented and illustrated with a broad selection of practical cases from various countries. This book can certainly serve as basic textbook for public financial management courses at undergraduate and graduate level.' Christoph Reichard, University of Potsdam, Germany 'Financial considerations underpin public sector activity, especially in times of austerity. Even when resources are less constrained, competing alternatives have to be weighed and consideration must always be given to value for money. Accounting and budgeting are effectively the language which structures decisions relating to resource allocation and should be understood by those who participate in the process. Accountants, by definition, are well versed in the activity, but it is important that others also understand at least the fundamentals. This book provides non-specialists with access to such knowledge. As might be gathered from the title, the book deals comprehensively with straightforward accounting and budgeting. It does this in a lucid way supported by many worked examples. It also goes further by including consideration of the important aspects of public sector auditing and concludes with some useful reflections on financial management reform in the public sector.' Howard Mellett, Cardiff University, UK 'This book contextualises public sector accounting tools into the broader aspects of New Public Management ideals. It will be an invaluable guide to students, researchers and practitioners involved in understanding accounting, budgeting and performance measurement in today's changing public sector environment.' Zahirul Hoque, La Trobe University, Australia 'This is a readable book on accounting and budgeting for non-specialists with easy examples and clear cases. Technical issues are organized in a well-structured text. It is a very useful tool for practitioners and policy makers.' Carlos Jorge Salgado, Hertie School of Governance, GermanyTable of Contents1.
