Forum Post: How to resolve today's economic crisis? Return to the "American System" of economics

Today our economy is based on the economic theories of free-trade and globalization. These theories originated from the English empire, the original enemy of the US, and are intended to justify the imperial subjugation of nations and their people.

The alternative, is the "American System" of economics which was conceived to support the growth and independence of the United States through the development of infrastructure and a manufacturing base.

The resolution of today's economic crisis requires us to return to the American System, so following is a series of articles that will clarify it's history and it's purpose.
