It Is Dangerous to Be Right When the Government Is Wrong: The Case for Personal Freedom, by Andrew P. Napolitano
Judge Napolitano has written an excellent book on Natural Law from the perspective of an attorney. He attacks legal 
Positivists, who believe the law is whatever the government says it is. He points out the moral bankruptcy of Positivists by pointing out that they have no logical basis to be against Hitler’s final solution of wiping out all Jews – since it was a validly passed law. He also rejects

The Heritage Foundation has just released its Index of Economic Freedom. The US has fallen to 10th place in the rankings. It appears the President Obama’s idea of fundamentally remaking the US is to no longer have the US the LAND OF THE FREE.
Fixing our economy and our unemployment problem is a straight forward case of increasing our ranking of economic freedom. The Heritage Foundation put out an excellent video explaining the results of a declining level of economic freedom.

Darin Gibby, a patent attorney, has written the book Why America Has Stopped Inventing?. Let me first say that I agree with Mr. Gibby’s premise that America has quit inventing and that it is hurting our economy.
The book has an excellent review of the history of how patent law developed in the US, with the 1836 Patent Act playing the hero of the book. The Act was modeled on the patent statute in Venice in the 1400s, according to Gibby. This leads to an explosion of invention in the United States and in

Exogenous vs. Endogenous
The phrase “I am my brother’s keeper” is used to explain a moral goal or imperative. The word ‘brother’ does not mean your biological brother, but those people in your community, or country, or really every other human being in the world. The word ‘keeper’ is used to mean that you have a moral responsibility to help every other human being in the world. This responsibility means that you are to put their needs before your interests and your moral goal is that people exist to serve others. In other words, the phrase ‘I am my brother’s keeper’ enshrines SLAVERY as a moral goal. Slavery is the condition in which you have no right to exist for yourself, your only right to exist is to serve others. Note that all
