{"product_id":"pants-on-fire-paul-christopherson-9781450237727","title":"Pants on Fire","description":"Pants on Fire explores the lies that govern America--why people go along with them and what it costs to do so. It reveals the plutocracy that benefits and examines what needs to be done to bring back a true democracy. It's no secret: The wealthy demand--and get--what they want from the system at the expense of everyone else. Seven key lies advance their agenda: - The way to grow the economy is to stimulate the people at the top. - Loose money is another way to grow the economy. - The stock market is the best investment and the best economic indicator. - Executive compensation is tied to performance. - Regulation is bad; deregulation is good. - Bailing out Wall Street was necessary to preserve the system. - The health care question is about who pays. These beliefs are driving the biggest financial crisis in modern history, fueling unjust wars and contributing to a society ready to explode with anger. Provocative and funny, Pants on Fire goes beyond the lies to provide solutions so that everyone can share the wealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Christopherson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 145023772X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450237727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010","brand":"Paul Christopherson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46292933771519,"sku":"9781450237727","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ab270a7-b54a-438a-8367-b1fa5341a8ba.jpg?v=1730210593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pants-on-fire-paul-christopherson-9781450237727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
