Deirdre McCloskey, The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce
http://www.amazon.com/Bourgeois-Virtues-Ethics-Age-Commerce/dp/0226556638
If you have some money left over from Christmas, this is a book you will want to own. Otherwise, you will want to get it numerous times from your library.
If you are as fed up with Daniel J. Flynn, A Conservative History of the American Left as I am, hundreds of pages of what's wrong with America because it's chock-a-block with leftards, or if you find Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism an endless round of more of the same, then this is where to go for relief and great insight into what makes the Modern world so fine in spite of its problems. This is a smart book by a smart ... person. Nice to read, bright, insightful, up-lifting, and volume one of a projected four volume work. I am liking it big time.
We know leftards are evil scums, but this book has nothing much to do with that. This is a book about good people, and why they are so because of the Modern world. In my own voluminous effort I attempt to write something similar, to show the good, but I haven't done anything as good as this so far. This is great reading, good thinking, smart and informed, all-round a wonderful book. Amazon reviews are strange. Give this one a chance, and a few pages in you'll see for yourself why I am in love with this one.
