Overview
FREEDOM REVEALED There is nothing more to be said about freedom...or is there? Humans have thought about, talked about, written about, and desired freedom since time immemorial. Guided by his "Gurus" Benjamin Franklin, and Richard Feynman, the author of Freedom Revealed, Donald Wilkie, has discovered a new way of looking at freedom—not as a philosophy but rather as a simple mechanical system that anyone, even a Harvard graduate, can understand.
Description
FREEDOM REVEALED There is nothing more to be said about freedom...or is there? Humans have thought about, talked about, written about, and desired freedom since time immemorial. Guided by his "Gurus" Benjamin Franklin, and Richard Feynman, the author of Freedom Revealed, Donald Wilkie, has discovered a new way of looking at freedom—not as a philosophy but rather as a simple mechanical system that anyone, even a Harvard graduate, can understand. Freedom is the backbone and bedrock of the United States. Without freedom there is no America and without a free America, the world would be a very different place. Freedom is not a "given." History has shown having and keeping freedom is hard, while falling into despotism is easy. Freedom did not happen "magically," it is a carefully thought out system. We need to understand its elements so we can, as Franklin cautioned, "keep it." The first step is a realistic assessment of nature, how it operates and how humans behave. Next is an understanding of the unique human social creations: the marketplace and government. An elegant simplicity and beauty is revealed. Many questions are answered and age old mysteries solved. Much more comes out than goes in.
About the author
Don Wilkie is a resident of the state of Michigan. He attended the University of Michigan where he received a degree in sociology. After college Don worked at several odd jobs, culminating in an 8 month backpacking trek through Mexico, Central America and the countries of South America. After returning, he began working at the family business as a welder. In time, he was offered a share of ownership. In 1994, Wilkie became president of the company. The business, which started in Detroit, has seen steady growth over the years. Wilkie is a fervent advocate of freedom. Benjamin Franklin, freedom's most brilliant thinker, changed Don's understanding. Freedom is not a philosophy but a mechanical system that drives prosperity. Wilkie is dedicated to revealing the system to one and all.
