24 cm. xv, [1], 320 pages. Notes. Bibliography. Index. , Foreword by William Simon. DJ soiled, spotted, and worn, small tears to DJ, small piece missing to top DJ edge. Robert J. Ringer (born 1938 is an American entrepreneur, motivational and political speaker, and author of several best-selling personal-development and political books. Ringer's first political/ideological work, Restoring the American Dream (1979), reached #3 on The New York Times Bestseller List in 1979. The premise of the book is that liberty must be given a higher priority than all other objectives and that a laissez-faire free market is the clear solution to America's economic troubles. Ringer has appeared on The Tonight Show, Today, The Dennis Miller Show, Good Morning America, ABC Nightline, and The Charlie Rose Show, as well as Fox News and Fox Business. He has also been the subject of feature articles in such major publications as Time, People, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Barron's, and The New York Times. The disastrous consequences of government intervention in the economy and our private lives. In Restoring the American Dream, Robert Ringer, in his candid, non-intellectual style, explains what people must do to take back America and preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren. And he makes it clear that the starting point is to accord liberty a higher priority than all other objectives. The Founding Fathers believed that people possess a natural right to sovereignty over their own lives and that government has no right to interfere with that sovereignty. In that vein, the author makes it clear that the American Dream is not about government benefits or government-created "rights." Rather, it's about individualism, self-responsibility, personal freedom, and, above all, the idea that people are above government.
