Description
Gilder compares America's current economic challenges with her past economic problems-- particularly those of the late 1970s-- and explains why Obama's big-government, redistributive policies are doing more harm than good for the poor. He makes the case that supply-side economics and free market policies are-- and always will be-- the answer to decreasing America's poverty rate and increasing her prosperity.

"An on-the-ground history of ordinary Americans who took to the streets when political issues became personal. It is widely believed that Americans of the 1970s and '80s were exhausted by the upheavals of the '60s and eager to retreat to the private realm.
