Read Our 4-star review from Literary Titan
Vass writes like someone convinced of their mission, and that conviction gives the prose a pulse. Their tone is urgent, sometimes fiery, and often unapologetic. The author mixes scholarly arguments with plainspoken outrage, and that combination keeps the reader hooked even through pages of constitutional draft language. I don’t agree with all their conclusions, but I couldn’t help respecting the clarity of their beliefs. The author connects economics, morality, and governance in ways that made me stop and think. There’s a spark of rebellion in every sentence, and I found myself drawn to the raw energy of that.

Literary Titan Author Interview – Laurie Thomas Vass Nov 13 2025
Literary Titan: Beneficial Economics examines history, political theory, and constitutional design to equip readers with the critical information they need to combat the growing ideological divide in America and rebuild a stable and moral society. Why was this an important book to publish at this time?
LTV: We provide red state citizens with the constitutional framework of 4 essential functions of the national government:
- The protective state, which protects citizen liberty and freedoms from coercion and exploitation.
- The productive state, which creates the fair rules for citizen freedom to produce and obtain the future value of their production.
- The entrepreneurial state, which decentralizes economic activity to the most local regional metro level to allow citizens maximum ability to innovate.
- The sovereign state, which protects the sovereignty of citizens and the nation from outside threats from other nations and from inside threats from anti-national forces.
At this time in the nation’s history, the government has strayed from its initial purpose, and is untethered to Madison’s constitution.
The government has failed the citizens, and the citizens have a natural right to abolish this government and start over, with the principles of 1776, which is what the book’s four functions are designed to create.

A review of Beneficial Economics by Feathered Quill
Beneficial Economics: A Red State Citizens Guide to Crafting A Better Constitution When the Government Fails the Citizens by Laurie Thomas Vass is a well written and deeply insightful political and economic manifesto that comes out pretty bold in its objective. Inspired by the author’s belief that the current U.S. government, based on James Madison’s 1787 Constitution, is totally broken and has been captured by a global corporate elite called the “predatory state,” this book aims to guide the people in politically conservative “red states” on how to draft a new federal constitution from the ground up.
