Paperback. Condition: Very Good. According to George Melloan, the erosion of supply-side economic principles began shortly after Ronald Reagan left office, when his successor, George H.W. Bush, caved in to pressures from Congress and reneged on his campaign promise to not raise taxes. Bush, who once called supply-side voodoo economics, seemed to forget that during his eight years as Reagan's Vice President that Reaganomics was transforming America into a dynamic entrepreneurial society. The prosperous 1990s saw a gradual return of Keynesian ideas and policies that were the catalyst for the credit bubble and the current economic downturn. The genuine prosperity of the preceding two decades slowly morphed into a false sense of wealth, brought about by excessive dependence on credit by both the public and private sector. When the credit bubble burst, the economy collapsed. In short, policy makers dismissed sound classical economics and instead relied on the false promise of Keynesianism, the theory that the government itself can generate prosperity through easy credit and heavy government spending. Offering enlightening answers in an uncertain time, The Great Money Binge not only traces the failures of Keynesian policies and past administrations, but outlines a clear, authoritative solution: a return to supply-side economics and a rejection of the trendy but ultimately disastrous stimulus packages, which only lead to a new era of inflation and global depression. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

"There are those who say - their wishes being the fathers of their thoughts - that Ronald Reagan's doctrine of free markets and limited government has lost its relevance and has won its last election. To them, George Melloan delivers a robust and convincing rebuttal. This intellectual spanking is delightful." - George F. Will. "The federal deficit, when added to the deficits of the states, is currently shooting well above $2 trillion [VERO BEACH BOOKS NOTE: THIS FIGURE WAS AS OF WHEN THE BOOK WAS PUBLISHED, i.e., 2009!!!], a totally unprecedented and almost unbelievable demonstration of government excess and irresponsibility. It won't wait for our grandchildren. It has to be financed now. There are only three ways to cover government deficits: by borrowing from the foreign and domestic capital pools; by taxing away the current savings of Americans; or by inflating the currency and covering the deficits with newly created money." - from the rear jacket flap, from The Great Money Binge by George Melloan. "Prestigious newspaper editor George Melloan, who worked for The Wall Street Journal for more than half a century, is no stranger to the wild ups and downs of the American and world economies. This brilliantly argued book explains - using detailed examples from the Crash of 1929 and from the Carter era - how government intervention actually prevents the economy from recovering its natural balance. Unless lawmakers realize the true importance of using supply-side economics in our current crisis, warns Melloan, nothing will save us from a new eral of disastrous inflation and widespread global depression. Citing the importance of historical example, Melloan explains how the world of economics was completely changed in the 1930s under the influence of English economist John Maynard Keynes. His theories advocating government interventionist policies were wholeheartedly adopted as a response to the Great Depression, and remained unquestioned until the "supply-side revolution" of 1980, after the stagflation of the 1970s showed the inherent weaknesses of neo-Keynesian economics. By employing what is sometimes called "Reaganomics," President Ronald Reagan and his economic advisers sparked a quarter century of unparalleled prosperity. Unfortunately, as Melloan demonstrates, governemt policy soon began to revert to Keynesian theories, even though they are widely misunderstood and misapplied. Now, with the Crash of 2008, our new president and governemt appear committed to ignoring the lessons of the past. With multibillion-dollar "stimulus packages" becoming the norm, and a multitrillion-dollar national debt that will keep growing so long as present policies are continued, America can look forward to a very grim future indeed. There is only one solution: we must return to our eroded supply-side principles. In the face of general misunderstanding, the vastly experienced Wall Street Journal editor George Melloan outlines a lucid and detailed explanation of exactly why we are currently sinking so rapidly, how this crisis compares to similar situations in the past, and exactly what must be done to return the United States to the economic vitality it enjoyed not so long ago." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
