false 3811882 2 <p>Best-selling author John R. Talbott, widely regarded as one of the first to predict the current housing and mortgage crisis, turns his attention to the economic possibilities achievable under a Barack Obama presidency. Obama's greatest strength is his ability to bring the country together. For too long divisions among races, religions, political views, cultures, genders, and sexual preferences have prevented Americans from coming together to solve the most important problems of our generation. Global warming, lobbying reform, poverty, health care, wars, terrorism, education, housing and banking reform, and energy and water shortages-these are complex global problems that Talbott argues cannot be left to the free market business world or governments to solve.</p><p>Once emphasis is placed on citizen involvement, real solutions become apparent to our most pressing problems. A completely laissez-faire world of unregulated markets and uncontrolled globalization can be returned to a properly regulated free market that responds to the voice of a democratic people. And the American values of goodness, justice, and fairness to all Americans reflected in this young man of Africa and Kansas can once again be incorporated into our economic and financial system.</p><p>A former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, <b>John R. Talbott</b> is the author of four books on economics and politics, including <i>The Coming Crash in the Housing Market</i>. He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, CNBC, and CBS Marketwatch and has written for <i>The Wall Street Journal</i>, the <i>Financial Times</i>, and <i>The Boston Globe</i>.</p> 3856154 1 7 2008 Obamanomics: How Bottom-Up Economic Prosperity Will Replace Trickle-Down Economics total:36|5:5|4:13|3:15|1:3| 36 125 85 19 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 3 2 false Wed Sep 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 05:48:17 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 19:06:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 3 0 false Thu Apr 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 19:25:09 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 17:08:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 0 0 false Mon Jan 26 15:03:33 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 15:46:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 3 1 false Sun Aug 03 14:59:51 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 15:07:43 -0700 2008 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 4 0 false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 08 06:03:11 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 11:07:02 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 3 0 false Mon Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 07 00:41:02 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 16 16:55:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 3 0 false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 05 05:15:41 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 05:18:43 -0700 2009 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 0 0 false Wed May 20 21:54:06 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 21:55:18 -0700 2009 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 4 0 false Tue Feb 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 20:15:16 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 20:17:42 -0800 2009 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 5 0 false Wed Jun 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 09:20:54 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 22:31:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 5 0 false Sun Mar 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 19:28:14 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 19:29:14 -0700 2009 3811882 1583228659 9781583228654 36 19 3.47 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3811882.Obamanomics_How_Bottom_Up_Economic_Prosperity_Will_Replace_Trickle_Down_Economics 4 0 false Tue Dec 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 22 10:38:33 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 30 12:19:02 -0800 2008 1 by or for Obama but rather based on his stance on the issues.
