Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-27 00:00:00 Brenda Soto Some genuinely good points in here laid out in an understandable fashion but it just rubbed me totally wrong. I don't even disagree with Mr. Maybury on most of it! Heck, I might even agree with him on all of it. But his smug tone and the format did not click for me. It felt too dumbed down. Also his habit of warning 'Chris' that his teachers and parents won't understand grated on me.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-29 00:00:00 Nathaniel Sanders Another great book by Maybury. Uncle Eric books should be required reading for high schoolers, if not middle schoolers. It still amazes me how much of this I didn't even learn in school way back when, and they are definitely not teaching this to kids nowadays. I believe we'd be living in a much different world today if a strong grasp of Economics and the Justice System (and the history of each) were required in public schools. ***I was just reading some of the reviews on this book and although the reviewers thought the book was enlightening they complained the author was too opinionated. But what author isn't (including even those that are supposed to write facts in our history books)? I would just like to add that the author adds a disclosure at the beginning of the book: "For reasons I do not understand, writers today are supposed to be objective. Few disclose the viewpoints or opinions they use to decide what information is important and what is not, or what shall be presented or omitted. I do not adhere to this standard and make no pretense of being objective. I am biased in favor of liberty, free markets, and international neutrality and proud of it. So I disclose my viewpoint, which you will find explained in detail in my other books..."
