About this audiobook
Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging grabbing match culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Surprisingly different than his other books, this explains the nature of US politics and the follies behind them, which are driven by the desire to get something for nothing. He gives a convincing case for capitalism being beneficial to humanity, and better than socialism. Unfortunately he's too polarized to address any downsides of capitalism. Still a good case against the something-for-nothing mentality that's rotting our society.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book starts off a little slow but is an incredible insight and commentary on the current state of America. Unlike Brian's other books this is very political. Extremely fascinating and thought provoking. Highly recommended!
