Now more than two years into the current financial crisis, Americans are starting to wonder if we can ever escape the consequences of past mistakes. If our \"recovery\" plan continues along the previous paths that generated economic bubbles and unemployment, then we are destined for failure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDestined for Failure: American Prosperity in the Age of Bailouts\u003c\/i\u003e provides a conceptual framework previously available only to those with formal university training. It explains the effects of government regulation, political interference in the housing and job markets, misallocation of resources in health and education, moral hazard, environmental constraints, and excessive taxation. The authors provide insight into their view of Keynesian economics as an outdated, detrimental ideology, and take the Bush and Obama administrations to task for budget deficits and cronyistic subsidies and bailouts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Sanchez, Christopher Kopp, Francis Sanzari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313392633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313392634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2010 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 103","brand":"Nicolas Sanchez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001150030079,"sku":"9780313392634","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f54fbdb-5b9a-4969-b4d2-48d385570796.jpg?v=1751600211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/destined-for-failure-nicolas-sanchez-9780313392634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
