A must read for anyone seriously voting in this country July 27, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent little book. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could figure how. So I erred on the upside.
Congressman (and Dr.) Ron Paul is an impressive man who illustrates his beliefs and recommendations with his experiences. Thus, his ideas take center stage. Rather than an audacious biography or memoir, Dr. Paul lays out his ideas in easy to follow language. His style is much like that employed by Barry Goldwater in his classic, "The conscience of a conservative." In this book, Dr. Paul espouses an America with a non-interventionist foreign policy, expansive liberty, sound money and a limited federal government restricted to its core duties as set forth in the Constitution. Perhaps the greatest dreamer since John Lennon, but wouldn't it be nice?

A very well written and thoughtful book. It really makes you think about where are heading as a country and what MUST be done to save us from ourselves!
Worth every penny!
Snapshot of Our Nation's Troubling Status July 23, 2008
The Revolution: A Manifesto by Ron Paul is a short book that attempts to bring to light some of the glaring mistakes the US has embarked on (or already pretty far down the road of).
Anyone unfamiliar with Dr. Paul's stands on political issues, or do not fully know where his position are derived from, ought to read this book and see that all which is required is some logic, history, and tons of reality.
I consider this to be light reading, there is nothing too technical either politically or economically. Dr. Paul does a good job writing overall, but I did get slowed down a bit since he doesn't seem to elaborate too much on quotes from past figures, and had to go back to read the page again.
Strongly recommend this to all those interest in social science, philosophy, politics, history, and FREEDOM!
EVERY American needs to read this book July 23, 2008

Ron Paul knows the Constitution and tells us in "The Revolution: A Manifesto" exactly how the current government is contradicting the founding document of America. Paul goes over numerous vital examples of how the federal government is overstepping its duty and in fact committing crimes against Americans by failing to stick to what the founders intended for the institution. The ideas described in this book must proliferate if we're to hang on to the fraction of liberty we have left.
First up is the controversial war in Iraq, which has cost us thousands of lives and hundreds of millions of dollars a day. Paul has rejected the war from the start and now wants to see an end to the imperialism that creates such wars. In "Revolution", Paul consistently goes back to the founders to show that they never intended the federal government to be the world's policemen.
Next is the welfare state. Paul shows convincingly the paradox of government programs that gets more money for failing to do what they were designed to do. Freedom from regulation and the nanny state has helped reduce poverty in India and China since the '70s but the US poverty rate has stagnated since the 'War on Poverty' was declared in 1968 with a slew of government welfare programs, Paul reports.
Paul then goes over other ways the federal government harms its constituents as in the drug war, the Patriot Act, and much more important, the Fed's tinkering with the economy through inflation and debt. Much of this information is already clearly elucidated in the popular media, but it seems most people have just thrown their hands up and accepted it as the way things are. Ron Paul intends to shake up the status quo and wake people up to the issues we confront with a leviathan that will continue to erode the rock of freedom on which it stands. Paul intends to make popular once again the idea of liberty before it's too late. His message is clear: stop regulating us; stop spying on us; and stop taking our money!
Though the book isn't expertly written or especially thorough, every American should read it and contemplate the core ideas. We could be on the brink of a monumental shift toward greater liberty--"The Revolution" can be considered the catalyst.

A Principled Defense of Freedom, Peace, and Sound Money July 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For those interested in libertarian politics or were impressed with what Ron Paul had to say during the 2008 GOP debates, this book gives a principled defense of freedom, peace, and sound money. Though short in length, Ron Paul provides plenty of food for thought on issues including non-interventionalist foreign policy, the true meaning of the Constitution, how economic freedom and personal freedom are related, why personal income taxes are unnecessary, and why inflation benefits the government at the expense of ordinary Americans.
