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.

Editorial reviews

Jude Wanniski's magnum opus was published in 1978 and since then, the book has been named one of the 100 most influential books of the century by National Review. Three-time AudioFile Earphones Award winner Paul Michael Garcia gives a spirited performance of this influential masterpiece, matching the liveliness of Wanniski's words as he offers a new general theory of the world's political evolution that explains how and why economies fail and succeed. Garcia's confident approach and shifts in tone help keep the subject matter fresh and easy to understand.

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