Anyone trying to evaluate the highly politically-charged arguments that these tax cuts stimulated economic growth, and may even have paid for themselves, would profit from thinking hard about the counterarguments Atkinson marshals in his clearly-written and accessible book. -- Joel Slemrod, Director, University of Michigan Office of Tax Policy Research\u003cbr\u003eDr. Atkinson's Supply-Side Follies is a primer on Bush\/Reagan's supply-side economics doctrine, clearly showing how, despite claims to the contrary, it's a failed economic growth strategy. No solution-less Chicken Little, the book is full of provocative alternatives that understand the distinctions between fulsome economic policy in a global setting and unfair political ideology masquerading as such. Supply-Side Follies is an easily grasped must-read for every voter of every stripe. -- Leo Hindery, Managing Partner at InterMedia Partners and former CEO of AT\u0026amp;T Broadband and TCI\u003cbr\u003eIn this important book, Rob Atkinson leaves behind the stale economic debates in Washington, D.C. and presents a compelling case that both conservative and liberal economic doctrines are out of step with today’s global, knowledge-based economy and that we need a new 'innovation economics.' This book is a must-read for anyone—liberal, centrist, or conservative—interested in ensuring a prosperous future for all Americans. -- Senator Evan Bayh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 Part I.
