DESCRIPTION:
The fascinating, suppressed history of how JFK pioneered supply-side economics. John F. The resulting recessions and the “stagflation” of the 1970s took the nation off its natural course of growth and prosperity-- until JFK’s true heirs returned to the White House in the Reagan era. Kudlow and Domitrovic make a convincing case that the solutions needed to solve the long economic stagnation of the early twenty-first century are once again the free-market principles of limited government, low tax rates, and a strong dollar. Only in the 1960s did an uninterrupted boom at a high rate of growth (averaging 5 percent per year) drive a tremendous increase in jobs for the long term.

"Inspiring Lesson of Two Big Tax Cutters" according to Steve Forbes. Should be required reading for any American seeking office. In this well-researched, well-written book, the authors show how John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, heroes of their respective parties, shared one powerful belief--the ability of tax cuts to stimulate explosive economic growth. The 1950s, for instance, were a high-tax era that spawned a . "Larry Kudlow and Brian Domitrovic get it right!" according to William A. Dalcol. JFK and the Reagan Revolution: A Secret History of American ProsperityWill Republicans and Democrats ever agree on a plan to boost our economy and create jobs? They already have and, as a just released work by Lawrence Kudlow shows, they should again.The fascinating new book penned by economic and political expert Lawrence Kudlow and co-author Br. Mark S. Robertson said Economic Answers for Then and Now. A great book that really lifts the fog on what makes a strong economy. There are so many so-called economic experts who are usually college professors out there who think they know so much about economics and how to bring about a strong economy who are trapped in minutia and bean counting and whose polices have brought great harm to the economy.
