Time for a Turning Point: Setting a Course Toward Free Markets and Limited Government for Future Generations

by Charlie Kirk, Brent Hamachek

Overview

New York Times Bestseller

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk shares a vision for America’s future embracing first principles, free markets, and small government. Kirk provides a roadmap on how to return to a free America, with an emphasis on reaching our youth and engaging them in the process.

During the 2016 Presidential election cycle, it has become clear that there is growing frustration on the part of many Americans with the general direction of the nation.  There has been an abandonment of the principles of free markets and limited government upon which America was founded.  We didn't get to this point over just the last eight years and it’s going to take more than one or two election cycles to reverse it. 

In Time for a Turning Point Charlie Kirk shows exactly what needs to be done and how it needs to be done to restore America's freedom.  This is a book of hope, not despair—book of action, not condolences.
