Honorable Philip English, member, House Ways and Means Committee Neal Asbury s book takes a sledgehammer to conventional wisdom that it is a must-read for anyone trying to break out of the stereotypes that have helped create gridlock in our political system. Neal points his clear and entertaining prose at the myths about international trade both that it is somehow free and fair, and that it runs in contrast to other goals, such as protecting the environment or lifting the standards of American workers. Neal makes a passionate argument for how to make international trade fair and free again, and to turn it back into a weapon in America s arsenal for battle in the global marketplace. Neal s is a voice to which Republicans, Democrats and Independents should listen. William Antholis, Managing Director, Brookings Institution As a small business owner and manufacturer, the issues that Neal discusses in Conscientious Equity have very important implications for any small business. With seventy-five percent of the world s wealth and ninety-five percent of it's population residing outside the United States, having the same access to foreign markets as foreign manufacturers have to the American market would significantly increase our ability to grow and thus ensure job creation. A world with Conscientious Equity would usher in a new era of prosperity by unshackling the entrepreneurial spirit in all businesses. Deron Lichte, President, Food Warming Equipment Co., Inc
