In
, bestselling author on politics and economy John Talbott sizes up the odds that Barack Obama’s presidential policies might actually stand a chance of working.
Talbott, a former Goldman Sachs investment banker who is credited with having been among the first to predict the current housing crisis in his bestselling 2003 book “The Coming Crash in the Housing Market” offers the first book of its kind about the leading presidential candidate.
When Talbott read Obama’s speeches, books, statements and policy papers released by the Obama campaign, he discovered that they add up to a set of principles and specific policies that are different from anything we’ve seen in a generation. Talbott then called on his own deep knowledge of the current state of the American economy, with all the challenges we face as a nation to determine the likelihood of Senator Obama enacting lobbying reform, revitalizing our economy, fixing our healthcare system, slowing global warming, ending the war in Iraq, improving education, addressing the aging of our population, finding alternative energy solutions and bringing about housing, mortgage and banking reform. The result is: “Obamanomics: How Bottom-Up Economic Prosperity Will Replace Trickle-Down Economics.”
Obamanomics would seem to be the right book at the right time to address the great challenges that will face the next president and all of us. If you decide to read it too, come back and let’s compare notes.
