The Road Ahead by John T. Flynn

This book was recommended on a Tom Woods podcast recently featuring Mises Institute fellow David Gordon (Ep. 956). I had started As We Go Marching a while ago, but it just seemed to be an airing of grievances and disintegration. This book claims to have solutions, but they don't appear until Chapter 13. I did a little skimming and then settled on starting with the end, since I feel we really need solutions now.

I am amazed at how current this book is. Even when problems that have origins for our current problems are covered, it is startling how modern the conflicts appear.

For a book that was published in 1949, not only is it a prophecy but also a decent road map (no pun intended) for dealing with our current problems.

For as long as this blog can take it, the text will be shared with annotations and comments.
