Down with Adam Smith! Away with the foolish professors who claim economics is "the dismal science," chained to a calculus of "scarce resources"! The only economics worth knowing is the science of increasing mankind's power over nature at increasing rates, in accordance with natural law as expressed in the Book of Genesis. LaRouche puts economics back where it belongs, so that every citizen can master for himself the fundamental principles that made the United States an industrial and agricultural superpower--from the advanced standpoint required to run a 21st-century fusion-power economy. The present "Second Great Depression" is completely unnecessary. There is no need for the 1931-style financial collapse that faces the Trans-Atlantic region today.The rapidly developing nations of the world are using the ideas in this book to create, spread and share a prosperous future. Should the United States decide to join them in applying the ideas in this book, the future of civilization will be of unlimited potential.
