Publisher's summary

Jude Wanniski's masterpiece defined the policies at the heart of the Reagan economic boom that continues today and promises a coming century of global peace and prosperity. Writing with a simplicity and liveliness uncommon to his subject, Wanniski offers a fresh general theory of the world's political evolution that explains how and why economies fail and succeed, now and as far as we can imagine.

Garcia's confident approach and shifts in tone help keep the subject matter fresh and easy to understand.

Important read!

The book is essential for a broad understanding of economics, as applied in government. Well worth the effort!

Not an overall must..

... however, don't miss the chapter about the Earth's overabundance of natural resources -- a poignant and convincing argument I've never heard from anyone else! See Chapter 13 Energy In Abundance.
