The Best is Yet to Come contains an insightful look into America and the world's economic future, a future that hung in the balance during the twentieth century as the commanding heights of many world economies were given to government. But...the epic struggle between interventionist government and free markets is over. And the market won. Globalization is the international system that has replaced the Cold War. Driven primarily by capitalism, the Internet is the technology that will reshape the world.

Review
Your historical perspective, global vision and prescient insight stimulates the imagination, improves perspective and excites me about the future. -- Steve Powers, Sr. VP, American Express, July, 2001
About the Author
Dr. Barry Asmus speaks, testifies, writes and consults on political and business issues facing America. He was named by USA Today as one of the five most requested speakers in the United States. Barry was twice voted the Outstanding Professor of the Year, as well as honored with the Freedom Foundation Award at Valley Forge for Private Enterprise Education.
As the Senior Economist with the National Center for Policy Analysis, Dr. Asmus does not just speak on policies - - he is also involved with implementation. He has testified before the House Ways and Means Committee on switching from an income tax to a consumption tax; was a featured speaker in a privatizing Social Security Conference for Western European leaders held in France, and has just returned from an engagement speaking as part of the faculty for the Young President's Organization in Cape Town, South Africa. His Fall 2001 appearance at the Forbes' Château de Balleroy in France with former Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus, members of the British Parliament, and other western European leaders focused on the importance of public policy decisions in Europe and how they might meld with the global economy.
Dr. Asmus likes to explain the economic concepts needed to navigate the evolving network economy to worldwide firms like Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM and a host of other audiences. Based on durable free market economic principles, his presentations apply the current issues of the information economy to help decision-makers formulate informed and effective choices in a global, e-commerce world.

This review is from: The Best Is Yet To Come (Hardcover)
I have read many books written by people who seem to think the sky is falling. The news of the day would make one wonder. Reading this book is a REAL breath of fresh air! Barry Asmus is a PhD with a politcally conservative bent, and a refreshingly bullish understanding of the history and future of America. His book was easy to read and very understandable. I think this book should be required reading by all high school history classes and civic classes. It would be a great to teach our upcoming generation that America has many positive attributes and unlimited opportunies. Dr. Asmus describes many social issues and gives several great suggestions to overcome many issues that we are currently struggling with as a country. I hope Republican leaders, business leaders, and education leaders are reading this book. I believe Dr. Asmus is an optimistic economist, a caring conservative, and a true leader. A rare combination indeed. Please... Dr. Asmus, Please... keep up the great work. I look forward to your next book.

I have read many reviews by people who mock people who say that the sky is falling. Guess what: the sky fell.
