The most important subject you should study isn't found in school but inside this book. There is a growing percentage of Americans who think the country is on the wrong path. This raises two questions. Firstly, what path are we taking that is leading us to social and financial disasters? And even more importantly, what path should we be taking? Our history shows that occasionally we will face emergencies like the recent financial crisis. Our response is to spend money to bail out the sinking ship. But shouldn't we also fix the hole in the bottom of the ship once and for all? Politicians on either side are out of touch and leading us down a dead end path. Are oppressive taxes, deficit spending and massive bureaucracy the legacy we want to leave our children and grand children? The nation whose respect for freedom was the ideal of the modern world is now seeing that freedom eroded day by day. But this tragedy does not have to be. We can change course and reclaim what our founding fathers left us. History will indeed record the choice we make. Why not be the best we could be? Author John H.Zaugg is a lifelong student of the true American ideals and values and a supporter of personal liberty for all. He lives in Denver, Colorado. http: //SBPRA.com/JohnHZaug

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The state of ethics in business is disgusting. People are sick of the rampant dishonest and unethical dealings they see every day. #2 The topic of ethics is a negative one, and many believe that they have to choose between being ethical and winning. But you don’t have to choose between being ethical and winning. You can be ethical and win. #3 If I believe that I have only two choices: to win by doing whatever it takes, even if it’s unethical, or to have ethics and lose, I’m faced with a moral dilemma. Few people set out with the desire to be dishonest, but nobody wants to lose. #4 The idea that right is determined by the situation and love can justify anything has become prevalent in today’s society. This philosophy has spread rapidly through the theological and educational worlds, and is now being applied to the business world.
