內容簡介

Lessons from History, Providing Profound
Insight Into the Challenges of Our Time

New Essays Celebrating the Wisdom of the Past 2,500 Years
The Latest Writing from Educator/Entrepreneur/Musician David Parker

As widespread concern regarding the global COVID-19 pandemic has finally subsided, other challenges here and around the world still provoke anxiety - and undermine the sense of certainty that Americans wish for. Fortunately, a new book by San Francisco based author, educator and entrepreneur David Parker offers the reassuring message from a deeper understanding - namely, that our problems are not new.

The very title of Parker’s new collection of essays, Rome 476(Waterside Productions - October 2023) is intended to inspire readers to return to a study of history. He awakens our short attention spans with powerful events in world history - for example, the fall of Western civilization in 476, when the Roman army refused to stop the invading Huns. Those soldiers stood by as Rome and its Colosseum were destroyed. Why? They hadn’t been paid. Why? All tax revenue went to service interest on the debt. Sound familiar? In the opening pages of the book, Parker writes, "Romefell in 476, with it Western civilization, civil rights, scientific and technological progress. Followed by the Dark Ages. One Thousand years."

David Parker argues that every year, America’s elected representatives drift further from the principles upon which this nation’s great democracy was founded. In several essays, he describes milestones in American history initially hailed as "progress" -- Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s "Great Society" - a failure.

A lifelong educator in San Francisco’s Public Schools, David Parker went back to school to study history, economics, and government -- to gain a deeper understanding of the principles behind his economic success as an entrepreneur, plus, find solutions to society’s seemingly intractable problems. Rome 476 is Parker’s third collection of essays. It follows Income and Wealth and ASan Francisco Conservative.

Among the important ideas David Parker shares in Rome 476, readers will learn:

  • It is important for progressives to learn that "every economic system has problems ... [but] those problems are personal, thus, not solvable by government."
  • Societal problems are solved by human beings individually "pursuing their self-interest to survive." Because, according to Adam Smith, everything then falls into place automatically, without design, as if led by an "invisible hand."
  • "Government intervention in any market destroys that market." In America, the declining quality of education and the exorbitant cost of health care are two good examples.
  • "Government’s duty is to protect, not provide life, liberty and property."
