Diana Furchtgott-Roth has written a public policy primer for millennial voters, demonstrating that many of the traditional economic prescriptions of the Left are adverse to the prospects and interests of younger workers and detrimental to national growth. With superb analysis (the author is a respected free market economist), this book explores how many current entitlement programs and labor market regulations disadvantage the new generation seeking access to the American Dream. While many of the ideas elegantly expressed here will fly in the face of popular convention, this powerful book will play a catalytic role in turning the thinking of many millennial voters on their head.
This book undertakes the long overdue task of redefining intergenerational equity and challenging citizens across the political spectrum to reexamine their core assumptions about economic policy. With analytical rigour, it challenges the reader to explore who bears the cost and who will reap the benefits of the status quo- and in the process make a compelling case fairness through programmatic reform and free markets.
I recommend this book to all working voters under 30, and all but the most hidebound socialists and pallid mugwumps- and the latter should read it to glimpse what they are missing in understanding the challenge facing the next generation.
