President Obama has declared that the standard by which all policies and policy outcomes are judged is fairness. He declared in 2011 that "we've sought to ensure that every citizen can count on some basic measure of security. We do this because we recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any moment, might face hard times, might face bad luck, might face a crippling illness or a layoff." And that, he says, is why we have a social safety net. He says that returning to a standard of fairness where anyone can get ahead through hard work is the "issue of our time." And perhaps it is. This book explores what it means for our economic system and our economic results to be "fair." Does it mean that everyone has a fair shot? Does it mean that everyone gets the same amount? Does it mean the government can assert the authority to forcibly take from the successful and give to the poor? Is government supposed to be Robin Hood determining who gets what? Or should the market decide that? The surprising answer: nations with free market systems that allow people to get ahead based on their own merit and achievement are the fairest of them all.

I also wish he would have just led off with the Flat Tax rate; rather than making that basically a coda and what the entirety of the book leads to. Rather he led off with that as his main point, since that seems to be the point of the entirety of the book anyway is to lead to it, why not just state outright that the point of the book was to say we should be using a flat rate tax system rather than taxing based on total income.
Eh. This is as far from essential reading as possible, even in its own genre, especially now; moving on towards 6-7 years later after it was written. I have a feeling this book was forgotten about the day it was published and will only be further pushed away as time travels us by. (
