Losing Freedom: Socialism and the Growing Threat to American Life, Liberty and Free Enterprise

Too often, citizens fail to remember the challenges of government by consent, and fail to appreciate the freedom from authoritarianism that we enjoy in this country because of the wisdom of our founders.

In a quest to uncover why so many proclaim themselves proponents of socialism when the record of that type of government is so dismal, this book explores the myths of socialism, while providing a wealth of diversely-sourced information showing that free enterprise and free markets are the best answers to poverty and social injustice. The author warns against the current worldwide slide toward elite authoritarianism and socialist government control, and gives concrete examples of the tragic failures of those countries whose leaders misled their citizens with false hopes of a socialist utopia.

Thoroughly researched and thoughtfully written, Losing Freedom is an exploration of individual liberty, individual responsibility, free enterprise and pluralism--the fundamentals of our country,

and the foundation of prosperity. Linden is hopeful that his message will reach thoughtful people searching for a prosperous and more peaceful world.
