License To Loot is an awareness book written by a concerned citizen of the United States of America. It's predominantly on prevalent issues in the United States. Just as the name implies, the book exposes hidden strategies with which citizens loot from the government. Though not legally recognized, certain citizens have found a way to legalize these dubious schemes. The book focuses on the economic events in American society. Pascale Batieufaye goes on to research and digs up factors that promote economic decadence. This economic decadence spans through corrupt governance, drug dependency, overcapacity of the welfare office, and illegal immigration. The book further discusses how citizens consciously defraud the government by making disability claims and depending on EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistant programs). Criticism of the previous and current governments of the states and how they affect economic standards are also high points of the book.

There are a couple of things worthy of mention in the book. I loved that the book was arranged in the perfect order of origin, causes, and solutions to the economic problems outlined by the author. Steps to total self-development and improvement were outlined in most areas of the book. In the book, the author gave a lot of motivation and encouragement to persons living with disabilities, addictions, and poverty. I also loved that the book highlighted the importance of mental and holistic health. It also gave a non-drug dependence approach to living a healthy life.

I can't think of any part of the book that I didn't like. There are some harsh criticisms of past leaders in the book, but I believe they are well deserved. Verifiable facts and figures were used to buttress the author's point about the economic issues in the country. Additionally, the author wrote on issues I am really passionate about, such as addiction and mental health; that made the book even more interesting. The layman will understand every part of this book as the author carefully avoided using words that are difficult to grasp.

I would give the book a four out of four stars rating. I did not take away any stars because the book had no error, and it embodies a comprehensive explanation of the economic issues in the United States.

This book is recommended to the government and citizens holding any form of power in the United States of America. Non-American citizens and government leaders of some other countries would also find it helpful because the solutions in the book would help any form of administration similar to that of the United States.

The situations portrayed in the book are not just confined to the American society.All over the world,people in positions of authority have taken leadership roles as part of some game to attain irrational power economically or otherwise.When we have ethically-minded people highlight such vices,it kind-of gives us a good defensive point when dealing with heartless autocrats.

Thanks for your review. It looks like the author has done a lot of research to address the current issues of the US government. If his solutions are applicable, many people will benefit from them.

This is an interesting non-fictional political book highlighting hidden strategies with which citizens loot from the government. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

This sounds like an interesting book. Every person associated with the government should read this book! The economic problems our country is facing today needs fixing! Maybe this book would help. Great review!

The minute I encounter a book like this, which is about everything that piques my interest, I look for the sources of info. So thanks for noting that Batieufaye uses verifiable data.

American politics affect the entire world, but I'm not that close to the issue to submit myself to this kind of a diatribe. I'm sure there's a huge audience out there for this book, though. And I do agree with the importance of mental health. I hope the governments of the world consider this. You wrote an excellent, articulate review.
