Books from "Stossel" - 2011
Books are often mentioned as proof of the person's expertise to address the topic at hand, so they're usually relevant to the topic. I'll also try to remember to include what their discussion with John entailed. Enjoy!

Why Does Hollywood Get It Wrong
The 5 Big Lies About American Business:
Combating Smears Against the Free-Market Economy
By Michael Medved
Part of the discussion about how Hollywood sees business. Medved has experience within the Hollywood industry in addition to his radio show and book.
Sexy Forever:
How to Fight Fat after Forty
By Suzanne Somers
Kindle Version
Basic point being made here was that Somers is making a case that's outside the mainstream and why do we listen to celebrities like this.
(Note: I think Somers has just as much credibility to write her book as Medved does with his. But maybe it's just because I know that pharmaceutical companies are part of the push behind not legalizing pot, because they can't patent it and create protected markets. Which was one of her arguments as to why the mainstream poo-poos the natural hormones she covers in her book.)

The Future
Gridlock: Why We're Stuck in Traffic and What to Do About It
By Randal O'Toole
Small segment related to cars that drive themselves and how this technology could be available right now if government would get out of the way. Overall show was about what the future could look like if government limited spending and regulation.

The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed
By David Alan Stockman
Only used versions available
This book is old and just crying out for being issued on the Kindle.
Stockman was part of the Reagan administration and was on to talk with Stossel about how the Republicans are as much of a problem with spending as the Democrats. Cuts in government made during the Reagan administration were rolled back and blown past in later years.

Broke: The Plan to Restore Our Trust, Truth and Treasure
By Glenn Beck
Kindle version
Beck was on to discuss the state of the union speech with John on a show about cutting the deficit and budget. And I sincerely hope the book is more coherent then Beck was on the show. I eventually got his point - which was a good one but explained so poorly as to leave you scratching your head. (Had the same issue when Anne Coulter came on the show. Some people need to follow a script, apparently.)

The Old Boss, Just Like the New Boss?
Lights Out!:
Ten Myths About (and Real Solutions to) America's Energy Crisis

Former Secretary of Energy was queried as to why he went from saying cut the Department of Energy to being its chair and defending its programs.
The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics
Edited by David Henderson
Henderson was on during a segment about how Canada managed to cut its debt by cutting spending drastically and increasing economic freedoms along the way.
Atlas Shrugged
by Ayn Rand
Kindle Edition
This book came up again as the winners of the Atlas Shrugged video contest were announced.
Show of January 6, 2011
Ethical Oil:
The Case for Canada's Oil Sands
By Ezra Levant
Kindle version
Levant was on to talk about government regulations on oil drilling, particularly moratoriums. His argument was that restricting drilling in our own waters just forces us to buy oil from less ethical countries, like Nigeria, which doesn't even bother to try to clean up its oil spills. Interesting discussion, and interested to read this. (I think we've seen Levant on here before. Need to check that.)
