The 5000 Year Leap	Customer Rating:
Understanding the thinking behind and importance of the American Republic and its contrast with a Democracy.

Wonderful Book on the Principles of Freedom

Customer Rating:

This is a great book on the timeless principles of freedom. I highly recommend reading it. As I operate [...] and focus on monetary issues I must say that the section on money and currency could have been expanded. I would only add some basic monetary theory. Gold and silver are not mere commodities but essential checks and balances in the political machinery of the United States. Sound money protects against despotic inroads by governments. The use of bills of credit in violation of the Constitution allows for confiscation through inflation without due process of law.

It will change your views of America

Customer Rating:

The constitution, what does it mean anymore? This document changed the course of the world and this book will tell you why the United States of America changed the world in 200 years. Sadly, it is also pointing out why we are loosing what has made us so strong. This book yes, should be required reading. Do you want a book that will honestly change your whole way of thinking about American Government, are you willing to be challenged? Take the dare, you will not regret it. If you are a liberal, Democrat or Republican, how about, just an American, this book is for you. Are you new to the concepts of Natural Law? This is a good jumping off point. The book is an easy read, easy to grasp for the beginner, yet I believe an advanced reader will still find it fascinating. It is a new perspective of our country, or rather just highlighting the original intent which seems to be new in this day and age.

Wisdom

Customer Rating:

There is a type of people in the world today, which has always existed and which will always exist. This type of person honestly seeks wisdom, honestly works, honestly deals with his fellow beings because he knows any type of happiness you get from anything except these things is a false, temporary happiness. This type of person is a person of reason, is person of justice, of integrity. This type of person tries as best as they can to increase their knowledge and tries to figure out the secrets and hidden things of this world and this universe. Those types of secrets and hidden things are only uncovered through a constant quest for knowledge. They realize that the extent to which you are free is the extent to which you know. The most bound person is the most ignorant person because they do not even know of their bond. Every person is bound to some extent. To the extent they lack knowledge of how the world works and how the universe works. This book is of course called The Five Thousand Year Leap for a reason. The reason being is that in the last two centuries this world has made more progress in every dimension of life than the last fifty centuries combined. That type of progress is not accidental. This book goes into great detail about the economic, political, philosophical, natural, and even religious ideas about why that is so. America and the world owes a great debt to the founding fathers and authors of the Constitution of the United States of America. I can promise you that you will not regret reading this book.
