Aggressive deregulation, privatization, entitlements, greed and creative financing have since generated a chaotic market and drove America into astonishing debt. Simultaneously, the world has innovated and invented itself into an Information Revolution, analogous to the earlier Industrial Revolution. Electronics technology structures this new information world and creates great wealth. However, balancing this wealth with the debt load may be beyond it.

Benefits and stock options dilute stockholder ownership constituting a sophisticated theft. These constraints leave little room for the invisible hand of a free market.

This book explains this and unravels the nexus between greed, debt, technology, wealth and free markets.
