My program today will feature a two-hour conversation with Arthur C. Brooks, the president of the American Enterprise Institute, about his new book, The Battle: How the Fight between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America’s Future.

Brooks’ website is here.

My Washington Examiner column this week is an introduction to the book’s central theme –that the U.S. is a 70/30 nation, with 70% on the side of free enterprise and 30% on the side of statism.

The book is a perfect Father’s Day present and a great gift for any college grad or newly minted JD, MBA or MD who needs to understand the country’s situation today.

Buy yourself a copy of The Battle, but get a couple of copies for the lefties in your life who may not understand what it is they are watching unfold.
