Title: Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy Author: Robert Sirico Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: August 2, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The Left has seized on our economic troubles as an excuse to 'blame the rich guy' and paint a picture of capitalism and the free market as selfish, greedy, and cruel. Democrats in Congress and Occupy protesters across the country assert that the free market is not only unforgiving, it's morally corrupt. According to President Obama and his allies, only by allowing the government to heavily control and regulate business and redistribute wealth can we ensure fairness and compassion. Exactly the opposite is true, says Father Robert Sirico in his thought-provoking book, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy. Father Sirico argues that a free economy actually promotes charity, selflessness, and kindness. In Defending the Free Market, he shows why free-market capitalism is not only the best way to ensure individual success and national prosperity but also the surest route to a moral and socially just society. Father Sirico shows why we can't have freedom without a free economy, why the best way to help the poor is to a start a business, why charity works—but welfare doesn't, and how he himself converted from being a leftist colleague of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden to recognizing the merits of a free economy. In this heated presidential election year, the Left will argue that capitalism may produce winners, but it is cruel and unfair. Yet as Sirico proves here, capitalism does not simply provide opportunity for material success—it ensures a more ethical and moral society as well.

Title: The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House Author: Edward Klein Narrator: John Mclain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 31 minutes Release date: May 15, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: It's amateur hour at the White House.

Title: Anatomy of Injustice: A Murder Case Gone Wrong Author: Raymond Bonner Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 11 minutes Release date: February 21, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From Pulitzer Prize winner Raymond Bonner comes the gripping story of a grievously mishandled murder case that put a twenty-three-year-old man on death row. In January 1982, an elderly white widow was found brutally murdered in the small town of Greenwood, South Carolina. Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a semiliterate, mentally retarded black man with no previous felony record. His only connection to the victim was having cleaned her gutters and windows, but barely ninety days after the victim’s body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Elmore had been on death row for eleven years when a young attorney named Diana Holt first learned of his case. After attending the University of Texas School of Law, Holt was eager to help the disenfranchised and voiceless—she herself had been a childhood victim of abuse. It required little scrutiny for Holt to discern that Elmore’s case reeked of injustice—plagued by incompetent court-appointed defense attorneys, a virulent prosecution, and evidence that was both misplaced and contaminated . It was the cause of a lifetime for the spirited, hardworking lawyer. Holt would spend more than a decade fighting on Elmore’s behalf. With the exemplary moral commitment and tenacious investigation that have distinguished his reporting career, Bonner follows Holt’s battle to save Elmore’s life and shows us how his case is a textbook example of what can go wrong in the American justice system. He reviews police work, evidence gathering, jury selection, work of court-appointed lawyers, latitude of judges, iniquities in the law, prison informants, and the appeals process. Throughout, the actions and motivations of both unlikely heroes and shameful villains in our justice system are vividly revealed. Moving, enraging, suspenseful, and enlightening, Anatomy of Injustice is a vital contribution to our nation’s ongoing and increasingly important debate about inequality and the death penalty.

Title: The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents: From Wilson to Obama Series: Part of The Politically Incorrect Guides Author: Steven F. Hayward Narrator: Johnny Heller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 14, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What makes a president great? Academics, journalists, and popular historians agree: our greatest presidents are the ones who confronted a national crisis and mobilized the entire nation to face it. That's the conventional wisdom. The chief executives who are celebrated in textbooks and placed in the top echelon of presidents in surveys of experts are the bold leaders—the Woodrow Wilsons and Franklin Roosevelts—who reshaped the United States in line with their grand 'vision' for America. Unfortunately, along the way, these 'great' presidents inevitably expanded government—and shrank our liberties. As the twentieth-century presidency has grown far beyond the bounds the Founders established for the office, the idea that our chief executive is obliged to 'preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States' has become a distant memory. Historian and celebrated Reagan biographer Steven F. Hayward reminds us that the Founders had an entirely different idea of greatness in the presidential office. The personal ambitions, populist appeals, and bribes paid to the voters with their own money that most modern presidents engage in would strike them as instances of the demagoguery they most feared—one of the great dangers to the people's liberty that they wrote the Constitution explicitly to guard against. The Founders, in contrast to today's historians, expected great presidents to be champions of the limited government established by the Constitution. Working from that almost forgotten standard of presidential greatness, Steven Hayward offers a fascinating off-the-beaten-track tour through the modern presidency, from the Progressive Era's Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. Along the way he serves up fresh historical insights, recalls forgotten anecdotes, celebrates undervalued presidents who took important stands in defense of the Constitution, and points the way to a revival of truly constitutional government in America. What you didn't learn from your history teacher but will find in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Presidents includes: –Progressive hero Woodrow Wilson aired a pro–Ku Klux Klan movie at the White House –Calvin Coolidge, much mocked by liberal historians as a bland Babbitt, was the last president to write his own speeches, guided the country through years of prosperity and limited government, and was one of the most cultured men ever to live in the White House –Why Eisenhower's two biggest mistakes as president were, in his own words, 'both sitting on the Supreme Court' –How, as president, JFK took mind-altering drugs, many of them prescribed by a physician he called Dr. Feelgood, who later lost his medical license for malpractice –Nixon's hysterically vilified Christmas bombing of North Vietnam in 1972 caused very few civilian casualties and compelled North Vietnam to negotiate an end to the Vietnam War –The 'misunderestimated' George W. Bush read 186 books during his presidency, mostly nonfiction, biography, and history

Title: Revolution 2.0: The Power of the People Is Greater Than the People in Power; A Memoir Author: Wael Ghonim Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 53 minutes Release date: January 17, 2012 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The revolutions sweeping the Middle East in 2011 were unlike any the world had ever seen. Brutal regimes that had been in power for many decades were suddenly swarmed by unstoppable mobs of freedom seekers. Now, one of the key figures behind the Egyptian uprising tells the riveting inside story of what happened and presents lessons for all of us on how to unleash the power of crowds. Wael Ghonim was a little-known thirty-year-old Google executive in the fall of 2010 when he anonymously launched a Facebook page to protest the death of an Egyptian man at the hands of security forces. The page’s followers expanded quickly and moved from online protests to nonconfrontational public gatherings. Then, on January 14, 2011, they made history when they announced a revolution. Over 350,000 friends clamored to join. On January 25, as the revolution began in earnest, Ghonim was captured and held for twelve days of brutal interrogation—and when he emerged and gave a speech on national television, the protests grew even more intense. Four days later, Mubarak was gone. The lessons Ghonim draws will inspire each of us: Forget the past. Don’t plan ahead. Let the crowd make its own decisions. Welcome to Revolution 2.0.

Title: Bowing to Beijing: How Barack Obama Is Hastening America’s Decline and Ushering a Century of Chinese Domination Author: Brett M. Decker, William C. Triplett Narrator: Tom Weiner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 39 minutes Release date: November 15, 2011 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Communist China is lying, cheating, and stealing its way into becoming a global superpower. And what's worse, President Obama is not only letting this happen but helping China do so. So argues bestselling author William Triplett II and Washington Times editor Brett M. Decker in their shocking book, Bowing to Beijing. Here, Triplett and Decker reveal how China's rapid rise directly correlates with America's decline—and the dangerous consequences this trend holds for us here and abroad. Exposing how China is unabashedly threatening and shaming us militarily, economically, politically, Bowing to Beijing is an all-encompassing look at –China's destruction of traditional American industries at home, including how they're punishing American firms abroad, buying our assets (sometimes in secret), and flooding American homes with dangerous products; –China's far-reaching espionage tactics, including extortion and subversion of the American political system as well as penetration of colleges and universities; –China's strategic military buildup and weapons smuggling to rogue nations such as North Korea; and –Obama's disengagement and general AWOL attitude toward the threat China poses toAmerica. Our 'win-win' relationship with China—in which Obama appeases China so they win twice while we lose—is crippling us and is detrimental to our future. America must respond and stop China's power grab if we want to preserve our standard of living, our global influence, and our freedom. In Bowing to Beijing, Decker and Triplett show us how.

Williams Narrator: Peter Kjenaas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 52 minutes Release date: November 3, 2011 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This is a collection of Walter Williams' essays, drawn from his syndicated column. Williams writes with brilliant clarity—and he doesn't mince words. He destroys a number of prevailing myths, such as that economic and social disparities are the result of racism and that economic sanctions will help punish the South African blacks more that the whites. He shows how government regulations hinder rather than help the disadvantaged. Williams explains why the nature of congressmen is not to act in the national interest. Listening to these columns is both entertaining and enlightening. Thomas Sowell has said of Williams and this book, 'Walter is (1) black, (2) opposed to the liberal cult, (3) talks sense, and (4) shows a sense of humor in his writings. The book is a real antidote to the prevailing mush of our times.'

Title: Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism Author: James Burnham Narrator: Phillip J. Sawtelle Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: November 1, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: William F. Buckley Jr. perhaps best described the importance of this seminal work when he said, “James Burnham has written a book about Liberalism for which the world has been aching. It is worth more to the West than the year’s gross national product, more than all the planes and bombs.” Through studious research into past civilizations, Burnham diagnoses the twentieth century and finds it afflicted with destructive, even “suicidal” tendencies––all of which arise from the “Liberal syndrome” and its inherent applications. The book explores several important questions, including why Liberalism clashes with Christianity and how Liberalism is a root cause of race riots and the rapid growth in crime. For James Burnham, who died in 1987, this book is certainly one of his greatest legacies.
