First Principles by John B Taylor
Mired in a crippling economic slump and hamstrung by partisan political debates, America faces substantial economic challenges, from widespread unemployment to the government's ballooning debt. These assaults on our prosperity reflect the unintended consequences of more than a decade of government intervention in virtually all areas of the economy. Stanford University economist John B. Taylor proposes a natural and reasonable solution to our economic challenges: return to the country's founding principles--limited government, rule of law, strong incentives, reliance on markets, a predictable policy framework--and rekindle its economic dynamism.
"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
