The Growth Experiment Revisited: Why Lower, Simpler Taxes Really Are America's Best Hope for Recovery

Description

From the chief architect of the controversial Bush tax cuts, an updated edition of one of the classic texts on the subject of tax rates and growth.

Lawrence Lindsey is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Lindsey Group and one of the chief architects of the Bush tax cuts. Lindsey lives in Northern Virginia.

"A valuable project... Lindsey makes a convincing case that Mr. Bush doesn't receive nearly the credit he deserves for steering the economy clear of a mini-depression in the early 2000s... What is beyond dispute, after reading Mr. Lindsey's book, is that tax rates have a direct effect on the health of the economy, a lesson that the current Obama administration has chosen to ignore." --The Wall Street Journal "I read The Growth Experiment in college, and it taught me an important lesson: Taxes matter. They help shape people's decisions. In this new edition, Larry Lindsey introduces supply-side economics to the next generation. And he shows that the best way to spur economic growth is to keep taxes low, simple, and fair." --Paul Ryan "This book was the Wall Street Journal editors' primer when it came out, and can serve as a primer again for all who value growth today. Lindsey is that rare figure in economics, both sage and honest broker. His magnanimity and wisdom shine a light on the economic topic, illuminating our (tax) path forward." --Amity Shlaes, author of Coolidge
