The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe Audiobook

For the first time in history, the world shut itself down—by choice—all for fear of a virus, COVID-19, that wasn’t well understood. The government, with the support of most Americans, ordered the closure of tens of thousands of small businesses—many never to return. Almost every school and college in the country sent its students home to finish the school year in front of a computer. Churches canceled worship services. “Social distancing” went from a non-word to a moral obligation overnight. Moral preening on social media achieved ever new heights.

The world will reopen and life will go on, but what kind of world will it be when it does? It can’t be what it was, because of what’s just happened.

Professors Jay Richards, William Briggs, and Douglas Axe take a deep dive into the crucial questions on the minds of millions of Americans during one of the most jarring and unprecedented global events in a generation.

• What will be the total cost in dollars, lives, and livelihoods of this response from governments, on advice from Science?
• What role have national and global health organizations such as WHO played in this? To whom are they accountable?
• What evidence do they rely on in sounding the alarm?
• How did science bureaucrats, relying on murky data and speculative computer models, gain the power to shut down the global economy?
• How did politicians, who know nothing of the science, decide whom to trust?

We need to know what and how it happened, to keep it from ever happening again.

“How did ‘experts’ like Fauci become gods, and why were those of us who questioned the panic labeled as ‘psychopaths?’ How did progressive fascism become the ‘new normal’ and, more importantly, how do we get—and keep—the normal normal back? Arm yourself with the answers to these questions by reading The Price of Panic, then buy a copy for a liberty-minded friend.”
