Return to Prosperity: How America Can Regain Its Economic Superpower Status By Arthur B. Laffer
2010 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1439159920 | EPUB | 2 MB
With the economy flat on its back, unemployment at a twenty-five-year high, and the housing default crisis still worsening, people are eager to learn how America can become the land of economic opportunity and prosperity again. While Keynesian economist Paul Krugman offered his analysis of the crisis in the New York Times bestselling book, The Return of Depression Economics and The Crisis of 2008, supply-side economist Arthur B. Laffer, who helped design the policies that pulled America out of the low-growth, high-inflation 1970s and put the economy on the track that led to twenty-five years of prosperity, presents a completely different prescription for restoring America's economic health.Asserting that the Bush-Obama plan is a failure that has only produced a cascade of trillions of dollars of debt, Dr. Laffer identifies the common sense principles of good economic behavior and lays out the changes that must be made in Fiscal Policy, Monetary Policy, Trade Policy, and Incomes Policy to get the U.S. economy growing again. The Way Back presents an urgently needed road map to recovery from one of America's most distinguished and highly experienced economists.

Rome and America: Communities of Strangers, Spectacles of Belonging
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009249606 | 265 Pages | PDF | 3 MB
Rome and America provides a timely exploration of the Roman and American founding myths in the cultural imagination. Defying the usual ideological categories, Dean Hammer argues for the exceptional nature of the myths as a journey of Strangers, but also traces the tensions created by the myths in attempts to answer the question of who We are. The wide-ranging chapters reassess both Roman antecedents and American expressions of the myth in some unexpected places: early American travelogues, westerns, bare-knuckle boxing, early American theater, government documents detailing Native American policy, and the writings of Noah Webster, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, and Charles Eastman. This innovative volume culminates in an interpretation of the current crisis of democracy as a reversion of the community back to Strangers, with suggestions of how the myth can recast a much-needed discussion of identity and belonging.
