Editorial Reviews
Review
Bowyer's book is a sorely needed dose of simple economic truth that things aren't as bad as the media says. -- Donald Luskin, National Review Online Financial
People complain about information overload. The trick is to know what data to understand. Bowyer can help you do this. -- Brian S. Wesbury, Chief Economist for Griffin, Kubik, Stephens & Thompson, Inc.
Readers will have to re examine their own assumptions to contend with Bowyer’s mind-cleaning exercise. -- Reuven Brenner, Faculty of Management, McGill University, and author of The Force of Finance
Those who wish to debate economic policy on the basis of facts rather than opinion will find this book indispensable. -- Richard W. Rahn, Chairman of Novecon Financial and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute

From the Publisher
Jerry Bowyer's fascinating book is endorsed by Steve Forbes, with a foreword by Larry Kudlow of CNBC. Forbes says, "Timely book of incisive data, enriched insights about our getting-better economy." If you like books by conservative authors Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Mona Cheran, and Gary Aldrich, you'll love Jerry Bowyer.

Format:Paperback
This book has a very interesting premise, which is that common sense and experienced reality are both false. Many, many Americans, from the working poor to the middle class, are experiencing economic distress, smaller paychecks, higher college costs, and uncertain employment prospects. Average Americans, Joe Sixpacks, do not see a good economic picture.
Bowyer and Kudlow, however, would have us ignore all of this and try to convince us that Bush's policies, which have failed to yield solid results by any standard economic measures, have actually already produced a boom. They use very convoluted and hard-to-follow arguments, with very little reflection of fact, to try to convince the reader that Bush is an economic genius.
As a serious study of current political economy, this book is a joke. As an example of the total disconnection of conservatives with basic human reality, however, it is a tour de force.

I think that "delusional" is too kind here. There has indeed been a Bush boom, but it has been confined to the small group already the best off in American society. As he heads on to have a net loss in jobs during his term, as his ill-conceived adventure in Iraq allows bin Laden to go free and inflames hatred for America, and as his domestic policies erode forty years of bipartisan progress Bush has created a "boom" indeed--unfortunately, it is the "boom" of the economy and security of America imploding.

Finally! A book that proves the existence of an alternate universe. Obviously, a rip in the space/time continuum between this universe and the other universe where Bush is presiding over a 'boom economy opened up and this book fell through. Can there be ANY other explanation?

Irresponsible
In all fairness, Jerry Bowyers wrote this book in 2003 or 2004, and he only had data available at that time. Read more

How wrong can Jerry Bowyer be?
This book came out in 2003. Here in 2009 the proof has shown Jerry is full of self-reinforcing delusions. Read more

five stars for entertainment value!!!!
I absolutely loved this book. As a work of purest fiction it is the prototype for all future spin and double speak from cover to cover.

Really, the economic success would have been buying up this book...
...and now selling them off to those who want, or need, a snarky gift. It's really the perfect gift to a banker. Read more

A stunning literary and factual masterpiece
This author is absolutely brilliant. He was able to completely write this entire book on opposite day, which makes the book 100% correct.

Hero of the day
Before I read this fine literary work, I had no Heroes in my life. Suffice it to say I know have a hero to last the rest of my life.

A satire, surely, but not a good one
It details in all but the worst satire how awful a job Bush has done with the economy. It's like they weren't even trying.
