Politicians of every stripe claim to have the answer--cut taxes, invest in education, develop \"green jobs,\" balance the budget, spend more on bridges and roads. The slogans are catchy, but will their ideas really work? And how can average citizens make sense of it all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortunately, Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson, bestselling authors of \u003cem\u003eWhere Does the Money Go?\u003c\/em\u003e and founding editors of the nonpartisan website PublicAgenda.org, cut through the spin with this essential guide to the national jobs crisis. Exploring a very serious subject in a readable, entertaining manner, \u003cem\u003eWhere Did the Jobs Go--and How Do We Get Them Back?\u003c\/em\u003e examines in detail the various proposals we've heard from the left, right, and center. Bittle and Johnson clearly explain the risks and trade-offs associated with each idea, writing specifically for citizens of all political leanings who aren't economists, financiers, business school professors, or think-tank policy wonks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408255541399,"sku":"9780061715662","price":1662.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780061715662.webp?v=1767309619","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/where-did-the-jobs-go-and-how-do-we-get-them-back-9780061715662","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
