Any discussion about the principles of sound money is useful in the age of spending & taxation. Plan B, a solution written by Lester Brown, looks at the complications caused by taxes on productivity instead of consumption, & offers remedies to correct the economic imbalances that method of taxation causes. Although it does not compare the advantages of localized economies over global trade, it at least identifies the root cause of excess consumption & lack-luster economic growth: tax policy.
