Event Details

Joshua Holland presents The Fifteen Biggest Lies About the Economy: And Everything Else the Right Doesn’t Want You to Know about Taxes, Jobs, and Corporate America ($16.95).

With the economy having just been the driving issue for the 2010 midterm elections, Holland sets the record straight on every part of the conservatives’ economic agenda.

A Sampling of Those Fifteen Lies:

  • Taxes kill growth.
  • Labor unions hurt their members.
  • Government regulation destroys jobs.
  • Free markets don’t cost you a thing.

There’s some pretty heavy ideas there and this author disagrees with these (just to remind you) so, depending on how you stand, this talk could be fairly polarizing.
