American Goods 2

About the Book

This book of essays and enclosed CD is about what I have spent most of my time reading about—law, economics, and sports. These essays are intended to help people understand in simple language information on law, economics, and sports. This book is also about nostalgia and how the present and future can be as good as the best year of your life.
