Beneficial Economics examines history, political theory, and constitutional design to equip readers with the critical information they need to combat the growing ideological divide in America and rebuild a stable and moral society. Why was this an important book to publish at this time?

We provide red state citizens with the constitutional framework of 4 essential functions of the national government:

1.    The protective state, which protects citizen liberty and freedoms from coercion and exploitation.

2.    The productive state, which creates the fair rules for citizen freedom to produce and obtain the future value of their production.

3.    The entrepreneurial state, which decentralizes economic activity to the most local regional metro level to allow citizens maximum ability to innovate.

4.    The sovereign state, which protects the sovereignty of citizens and the nation from outside threats from other nations and from inside threats from anti-national forces.

At this time in the nation’s history, the government has strayed from its initial purpose, and is untethered to Madison’s constitution.

The government has failed the citizens, and the citizens have a natural right to abolish this government and start over, with the principles of 1776, which is what the book’s four functions are designed to create.

In your book, you sketch a new political architecture —a “Democratic Republic of American States” — built on state sovereignty, fair economic rules, and resistance to “predatory state capitalism.” Can you give a high-level explanation of what this would look like? 

The new architecture of the national government offers two forms of decentralization, intended to overcome the flaws of centralization in Madison’s constitution.

First, the new constitution aims at geographic political decentralization, intended to return authority and government power to citizens at the most local levels of government.

We cite Jefferson’s phrase,

“That which governs the best, governs the least, and closest to the people.”

The book proposes re-crafting the relationship between states and the national government by limiting the national government powers to those “expressly delegated” to the national government, by the states, in the constitution.

Second, the book describes the economic relationship between decentralized entrepreneurial innovation, in metro regions, to the freedom and liberty of citizens to obtain the future prosperity that they are imagining for themselves.

This economic future would look very much like what Adam Smith described for British society in his 1776 book, The Wealth of Nations.

This future economy, in the Democratic Republic of American States, would look like free citizens making free financial and economic decisions which leads society to beneficial outcomes for all citizens.

After reading your book, what steps can the average citizen take to start making meaningful change in their own communities? 

In the current two-party, first-past-the post political system, red state citizens do not have a political party or political movement that aims to champion their liberty and financial interests.

The book is designed to promote a red state citizen consciousness of their own class interests, which depends on the creation of a coherent ideology of freedom.

As the political polarization intensifies, and as the Democrat Marxist seek to impose a communist solution, red state citizens will use their state legislatures to implement citizen-led study commissions to recommend changes to the state-national relationship.

Those citizen study commissions become the launching pad for a new constitution.

What is one thing that people point out after reading your book that surprises you?

I am surprised at how alien the notion of citizen liberty and economic freedom has become for red state citizens.

Part of the intent of the book is to use the notion of quantitative physics to explain to red state citizens that nothing bad will happen if citizens are free to make their own decisions.

We extend the notion of Adam Smith to describe that something good will emerge in society when citizens have the greatest ability to obtain the future that their brains are imagining, for themselves, and their families.
