About the Author

John Stossel is a renowned journalist, author, and libertarian commentator whose career spans decades of challenging conventional wisdom on government intervention and individual liberty. A former ABC News correspondent and host of the Emmy-winning '20/20' segment, Stossel has earned multiple awards for his investigative reporting that exposes myths and inefficiencies in public policy. In his writing, he draws from real-world examples to argue that free markets and personal responsibility drive progress, while bureaucracy often hinders it.

Stossel's clear-eyed analysis continues to influence debates on economics, freedom, and societal success.
