Sustainable: The War on Free Enterprise, Private Property, and Individuals by Tom DeWeese

What if the promise of environmental protection concealed a far different project — one aimed not at saving nature, but at restructuring society itself? Sustainable: The War on Free Enterprise, Private Property and Individuals rips away that disguise and confronts the machinery driving it forward. This is not speculation. It is a documented process embedded in regulations, land-use plans, and international agreements, all justified under the banner of “sustainable development.”

Tom DeWeese, veteran property-rights advocate, shows how Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 are being woven into local ordinances, state policies, and federal mandates. He indicts the unelected councils and NGOs that pressure communities into compliance, documents the erosion of private property through zoning and land trusts, and names the global partnerships steering policy from above. At the same time, he traces the intellectual lineage of this agenda — from the UN to American bureaucracies — and explains why free markets and individual rights are its true targets.

But Sustainable is more than exposure. It is a handbook for action. DeWeese offers activists practical guidance for organizing resistance, briefing the media, and arming local officials with facts that cut through empty rhetoric. He provides victims of these policies with a voice and a plan, showing that they are not isolated, but part of a growing movement of Americans determined to defend liberty.

For readers who sense that something more than conservation is at work, this book provides the evidence, the names, and the tactics. And it presses the point urgently: the time to resist is now, before freedom is regulated into extinction. (2018, pb, 206pp, $19.95)
