It advocates the core tenets of Rand's philosophy of Objectivism and expresses her concept of human achievement. In doing so it expresses many facets of Rand's philosophy, such as the advocacy of reason, individualism, the market economy and the failure of government coercion.

 

End the Fed is a 2009 book by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Paul argues that in the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible, ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal Reserve. In End the Fed, Paul draws on American history, economics, and anecdotes from his own political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. He states that it is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, which Paul asserts is a practice that threatens to put the United States into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. He further maintains that most people are not aware that the Fed—created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia—is actually working against their own personal interests. Paul also draws on the historical links between the creation of central banks and war, explaining how inflation and devaluations have been used as war financing tools in the past by many governments from monarchies to democracies.

The Five Thousand Year Leap: Twenty-Eight Great Ideas That Are Changing the World is a book that was published in 1981 by the late anti-communist and conservative author Cleon Skousen. The book argues that the United States is a Christian nation whose Founding Fathers were guided by the Bible, and that the U.S. Constitution is a brilliant document. The book lists twenty-eight fundamental beliefs based on the words of Moses, Jesus, Cicero, John Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, and others, which Skousen asserts have resulted in more progress than was achieved in the previous 5,000 years of every other civilization combined.

Going Rogue: An American Life is a personal and political memoir by Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican candidate for Vice President of the U.S. The first part of the book is devoted to Palin's experiences before the campaign, the second part details her life as a candidate for national office. The book is written in a personal tone similar to Palin's manner of speaking. Palin discusses the disagreements she had with McCain campaign advisers, criticizes the national media, and talks about the importance of religion and family life. The "Going Rogue" part of the title derives from criticism leveled at Palin by McCain campaign advisers that she was straying from their carefully crafted message and publicly disagreeing with John McCain on several issues. The subtitle, "An American Life", mirrors the title of President Ronald Reagan's 1990 autobiography.
