First Principles by John B Taylor
America’s economic future is uncertain. Mired in a long crippling economic slump and hamstrung by bitter partisan debate over the growing debt and the role of government, the nation faces substantial challenges, exacerbated by a dearth of vision and common sense among its leaders. Prominent Stanford economist John B. Taylor brings his steady voice of reason to the discussion with a natural solution: start with the country’s founding principles of economic and political freedom—limited government, rule of law, strong incentives, reliance on markets, a predictable policy framework—and reconstruct its economic foundation from these proven principles. Channeling his high-level experience as both a policymaker and researcher, Taylor then zeroes in on current policy issues—the budget, monetary policy, government regulation, tax reform—and lays out in simple terms bold strategies designed to place the country on sound footing in each of these areas.
"A veteran policymaker and exceptional economist, John BTaylor gives us the guiding ideas we need to get back to prosperity without inflation, and he does so in clear, compelling, and readable prose." -- George P. Shultz, former Secretary of State
"John Taylor argues persuasively for a return to the founding principles of our free society—rule of law, predictable government policies, and free markets—and shows how violation of these principles has derailed American prosperity time and again. This book sends a clear and powerful message to everyone searching for a way out of the malaise gripping the nation." -- Gary Becker, University of Chicago, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics
