Beschreibung

Fine condition glossy color illustrated softcover wraps. Includes List of Other Books by the Authors; Authors' Dedications; Foreword by Jack Kemp; Introduction; Data Sources; and About the Authors. Illustrated with graphs, charts and tables. "In this one book, the authors provide a comprehensive snapshot of where the nation stands in terms of government spending, taxes and debt, education, the economy and business, health care, the environment, and society in general. Their numbers tell the story for the nation as a whole, as well as for each of the 50 states and Washington, D.C." - from the foreword by Jack Kemp, co-director, Empower America. "I'm not a conservative, but I love this book for its exhaustive collection of data on everything from SAT scores to economic growth rates state by state. It's an encyclopedia on politics and the economy and every data junkie should own it." - Morton Kondracke, executive editor, Roll Call. "The Entrepreneurial Revolution that Keating and Edmonds refer to in U.S. By the Numbers will live or die by the future actions of our elected officials. Like D.C. By the Numbers, which helped to reshape policy in favor of entrepreneurial activity in our nation's capital city, this book wil be the bible for elected officials who are serious about nurturing an environment favorable to economic opportunity for all Americans in the 21st century." - Karen Kerrigan, chariman, Small Business Survival Committee. "For anyone truly concerned about how their own state and our nation are positioned for the 21st century's global economy, then the numbers, analysis and policy prescriptions presented by Keating and Edmonds in U.S. By the Numbers are must reading." - Lawrence Kudlow, chief economist, Schroder & Co., Inc. and CNBC dot com. "U.S. By the Numbers vividly demonstrates how taxpayers are being plundered on a state-by-state basis. Of course, the news isn't all bad -- the book carefully documents how low tax and low regulatory states prosper, and why it will be increasingly dangerous for politicians to even ponder the thought of tax increases in the new entrepreneurial economy." - Grover Norquist, president, Americans for Tax Reform. "In U.S. By the Numbers, Keating and Edmonds not only tell the story of where our naton and the states stand today, but explain why a conservative agenda is critical to making sure the 21st century also will be America's century." - David Keene, chairman, American Conservative Union.
