Jack Kemp's Legacy Lives

With the recent passing of Jack Kemp, I decided to dedicate some time to re-reading some of his work. This book was written 30 years ago. Most of it still holds true today. For the Conservative, this should be on the bookshelf somewhere near Barry Goldwater's The Conscience of the Conservative. While I'm no economist, the details about the economy and taxes were pretty detailed, and I really have no idea where these concepts are today, with regard to the numbers of the 2000's and not the 1970's. If you prefer to just read the good nuts and bolts of Conservative politics, pick up this book and just read Chapters 1, 3, and 10. This is a short book, rather like Goldwater's, and well worth the time.

A CRITICAL ACCOUNT OF SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS

The importance of this short but essential summary of economic thought in the late 1970s (the decade of "malaise") is critical to understanding the growth of the economy today. This book demonstrates the true power of an idea whose time has (and had) come--supply side economics. Jack Kemp, along with Jude Wanniski and Ronald Reagan started the revolution--pick up this book and see how it happened.
