Do you wonder what’s wrong with public schools? Why there is an economic crisis? Why so many wars? What’s up with the ever-more bizarre world of copyrights and patents? The common paradigms of our age in economics and history do not allow for resolutions to these issues—which is why they seem intractable.
This site is a guide to selected works written under other paradigms. A broad and growing world of scholarship is waiting to meet your curiosities about the most critical public issues of our day with authentic answers. These works can help uncover popular falsehoods—especially in the pivotal fields of economics and history—and replace them with better ideas, providing answers that make sense and that explain what we actually see around us. Seeking deeper understandings in such fields leads outside the usual curriculums, creating the need for roadmaps such as the Orientation pages and, the heart of this site, the “Bookfinder.”
The future depends on each of us accessing deeper truths in these matters and then starting to share our discoveries, so I encourage you to choose a book and get started. There is plenty to learn, and nowadays, there is more and more help and support to be found on this journey. Nothing will look quite the same, but what seemed mysterious or impossible can be understood, and that is the first step in working toward something better.
Best of luck,
