by Matthew Miller. With copious examples ripped from the headlines (including the current subprime mortgage meltdown), columnist and author Miller (The Two Percent Solution) calls on all Americans-business owners, employees, policy makers, government leaders-to quit the "dead ideas" that pose great threats to America's economic future, among them the beliefs that free trade results in a "net good" (regardless of how many people get hurt), taxes are bad (and always too high), and schools are a local matter. ... Miller's politically loaded ideas should ruffle feathers, but they're argued with convincing vigor that should appeal to readers on either side of the political divide. --Publisher's Weekly (Check Catalog)
