Politics and thieves, coercion and regulation, fascism and the Fed, centralization and liberty, workers and unions, trade and freedom, free-market
achievements and government disasters in American history—this book covers it all!
Organized Crime
collection of essays in the tradition of Austrian political economy—a combination of applied economics and the study of governmental reality.
Unlike “mainstream” economists who are content to spin mathematical model after mathematical model which explain little or nothing about the real world,
DiLorenzo’s focus has always been just the opposite—to use economic understanding to gain a better understanding of how the political-economic world works.
Austrian economics is indispensable to succeed at this task.
The book is divided into six sections “Coercion and Regulation” analyzes various aspects of government regulation of business; “Politics and Thieves” is
of course about the inherent nature of government; “Centralization versus Liberty” discusses the never-ending quest by statists to monopolize and
centralize political power so as to isolate themselves as much as possible from public influence; “Money and the State” describes the myriad evils of
central banking, which was always thought of by its original proponents in America as an engine of corruption; “Workers and Unions” discusses various labor
union myths and superstitions that too often cloud the public’s thinking about the reality of labor markets; and “Truth and Lies about Markets” is a
taxonomy of some of the main market-failure myths that have long been used to illegitimately advance the cause of economic interventionism, as well as some
newer ones.
In Organized Crime The Unvarnished Truth About Government, Thomas J. DiLorenzo strips away the vast apparatus of establishment propaganda and
exposes the government smokescreen. No statist lies are safe from his scrutiny. In his straightforward and methodical approach to uncovering truths of
freedom, liberty has a champion.

While the majority of people debate which flavor of socialism is best, though they use various euphemisms to hide this fact from nearly everyone and often even themselves, this book steps outside of that debate to discuss how Americans became adherents to socialism, and why. Clearly written, easily grasped, this author demonstrates his grasp of both economics and history that comes from thorough research so that the average reader may clearly grasp the material. However, most people have been indoctrinated against this material whether from either the "left" or "right" persuasion since the book supports neither position. Nice thing about truth, it cuts across artificial lines disturbing both camps. Those who are unhappy with either "left" or "right" position will find value in this work. The major thesis I learned is that history is not determined by military might nor solely by men of power; history is determined by the economic foundations that support powerful leaders to initiate and lead military conquests. Without the economic basis there is no powerful empire/nation and following the wrong economic pathway is what leads to the collapse of such empires.Product details

Organized Crime The Unvarnished Truth About Government edition by Thomas J DiLorenzo Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! The author got so much right on this one!!! First, each chapter is small and very digestible, exactly how a book with so much information should be. You don't read a chapter and then as yourself what exactly you just read. Second, each chapter stands alone as mini treatise on a subject, complete with supporting references. Third, the book is vast and ambitious in its scope, and it succeeds wildly in covering a vast political-economic spectrum. I had the misfortune of being educated in a socialist-oriented university in both Economics and Finance, and I sincerely wish this book had been published 10 years ago so that I could have saved myself 40K, and gotten a much better education. My hat is off to Mr. DiLorenzo on a job well done!!!
In this fast-moving expose of the criminogenic tide coming from our 'servants' in Washington, D.C., Professor DiLorenzo continues his iconoclastic tradition begun with his two blockbuster books about Dishonest Abe Lincoln, and about Alex Hamilton -- the founding father not of America, but of the Wall Street crime machine.
I think the natural order of reading DiLorenzo blockbusters should be 1) Hamilton's Curse How Jefferson's Arch Enemy Betrayed the American Revolution--and What It Means for Americans Today 2) Lincoln Unmasked What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe, 3) then this great compendium of D.C. crimes. Then, you can take Tom's other delightful books in any order you like. He hasn't had a dud yet.
Tom DiLorenzo is an American statesman and thinker in the Old Right tradition of Albert Jay Nock, John T. Flynn, Garet Garrett, Frank Chodorov, Felix Morley, and Murray Rothbard. There are very few like him today -- Ron Paul, Tom Woods, Kevin Gutzman, and Judge Andrew Napolitano are others -- but Tom DiLorenzo has gone straight for the enemy's boiler-room and planted shaped charges there...documenting his work as he covers a great deal of ground.
Every lover of the U.S. Constitution and of the republic given birth in that Supreme Law, should give thanks to God for this great author. Mr. DiLorenzo has been an inspiration and a teacher to so many Americans over the past decade, including me. When I see a new DiLorenzo work out, without hesitation I buy it and download it to my Fire -- before even glossing it. I'm that certain in the DiLorenzo "brand" -- his scholarship. With his books, I know I'll be instructed and edified...and "Organized Crime" is no exception.
Among many new pieces of grist for the mill, I found a fascinating factoid here George Washington signed the bill creating the first Bank of the U.S., as the result of a backroom deal, wherein the survey perimeter of the new District of Columbia would be moved to join Washington's family estate at Mount Vernon. Having been a surveyor many years before, I'm sure old George could give them the required metes and bounds, right off the bat. I've been a lifelong student of American history, but this was a new gem for me. Thanks, Tom.

DiLorenzo's newest book is a good one. I recommend it and I encourage you to buy it. I enjoyed almost every aspect of it.
The only downside to this book is that I think it could have been much better. Sure, there's the occasional typo, but that's not a big deal in the long run.
The real problem is that it was a series of articles that DiLorenzo wrote (nothing wrong about that) that started taking the shape of an "Economics in One Lesson" or "Defending the Undefendable" style book. Both of these latter books takes a simple claim "Government plans to help the economy only hurt due to the unseen" and "Numerous 'evil' people in our society either (1) can be dealt with easily in a free society, or (2) aren't actually evil", respectively, and hammer the points in one after another, leading to great reads that change minds.
Although this book, Organized Crime, was a compilation of articles, it began to take on that sort of flavor hammering in case by case the point that governments are nothing but criminal organizations. However, to THIS it missed its mark. Each article only loosely talks about EXAMPLES in US history that have this aspect Lincoln taking over the south for lobbyist-esque reasons, Hamiltonian government policies that are used to benefit a select minority, etc.
I feel as though if this book would have been discussed and read ahead of time, the author and his publisher would have realized the potential of the book and it could have been on the same level as "Economics in One Lesson" or "Defending the Undefendable".
Indeed, the book is what it promises to be a series of polished-up articles by DiLorenzo that were great to read.
However it missed its potential as being on the same footing as Economics in One Lesson or Defending the Undefendable.
