Are You Liberal? Conservative? Or Confused? (Second Edition)

Product Description

Are You Liberal? Conservative? or Confused? contains clear, concise explanations. Explanations of facts and fallacies. And raises the question: Does inconsistency to the original American philosophy endanger liberty?

Using the epistolary style of writing (using letters to tell a story), Mr. Maybury plays the part of an economist (Uncle Eric) writing a series of letters to his niece or nephew (Chris). Using stories and examples, Mr. Maybury gives interesting and clear explanations of topics that are generally thought to be too difficult for anyone but experts.

Mr. Maybury warns, “beware of anyone who tells you a topic is above you or better left to experts. Many people are twice as smart as they think they are, but they’ve been intimidated into believing some topics are above them. You can understand almost anything if it is explained well.”
