“At a time when so many Americans are feeling the pain of our troubled economy, “Income and Wealth” by David Parker offers reason for hope and optimism. The author is a lifelong teacher, as the book is scholarly and well-documented in its advocacy of free market economics. Parker’s book has encouraged me to reassess my own financial habits — and my tendency to look to the government for solutions. I only wish I had read “Income and Wealth” 20 or 30 years ago! Do yourself a favor and read it now!” – Tom Martin
