Hatred of the rich. Price controls. "Living wages." Stimulus plans. Government debt. The destructive forces of socialism are taking hold all over America, and it seems their influence cannot be stopped. Capitalistic, free-market ideas, those which made this nation the economic powerhouse it is today, are increasingly rejected by politicians, academics, and average citizens alike. Ticking away in the background is an economic timebomb that could make America a Third World nation in a matter of months-the national debt. The debt level of the American government has passed every warning sign economists can offer. It is now so vast it threatens to rush the entire world into a catastrophe that could make the Great Depression seem mild by comparison. Yes, America is headed for a collapse. But it doesn't have to.This book is an attempt to turn back this dark economic tide by educating the average Christian regarding the socialist ideas sweeping through the nation. How should a believer view things like the hatred of profit, the call for free government programs of all kinds, and the amassing of tens of trillions in debt? This volume will not only address sound economic principles related to these issues, but also provide the Bible's perspective on them. In so doing, the ultimate reason for our present economic condition, and potential future catastrophe, will be revealed-the righteous judgment of God.Want to learn why capitalism is best for America, counter the arguments of the socialists all around you, and prevent the fall of the greatest nation the world has ever seen? Collapse is your tool to do all of this and more! Get your copy today.
