For far too long the divisions among races,
    2. religions, cultures, and genders have prevented Americans from coming together to solve the most important problems of our generation: Environment and energy shortages Mortgage and housing crises War and terrorism Healthcare and Social Security Poverty in the world’s richest nation As the Obama administration takes on the current economic crisis amid accusations of planning a socialist system, economics and political writer John R. Talbott argues that such complex problems found both at home and abroad cannot just be left to the actions of government or the free market business world, or the Bush administrations version of Reagonomics that still sticks to a “trickle-down” policy. The change that Talbott sees from a Barack Obama presidency is one based on justice and cooperation, principles that have not held sway in Washington, DC for a very long time. Obamanomics, infused with Obama’s speeches, campaign policy statements, and other writings, describes not just a government but a NATION acting according to democratic principles to reform lobbying, banking, and housing as well as restore economic growth, address the healthcare system, improve education, and find solutions to our aging population and declining energy sources. Once emphasis is placed on citizen involvement, real solutions become apparent to our most pressing problems. The American values of goodness, justice, and fairness is reflected in this man with roots from Kenya, Kansas, Hawaii, and Illinois can once again be incorporated into our economic and financial system. A former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, John R. Talbott is the author of four books on economics and politics, including The Coming Crash in the Housing Market making him one of the first to predict the current housing and mortgage crisis. He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, CNBC, and CBS Marketwatch and has written for The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and the Boston Globe. Personal Review: Obamanomics: How Bottom-Up Economic Prosperity Will Replace Trickle-Down Economics (Economics in the Obama Presidency) by John R. Talbott Ever since someone coined "Reaganomics" to refer to President Ronald Reagan's economic policies, it has become standard practice to attach "- nomics" to nearly every noun. This book - Obamanomics - is similarly a reference to President Obama's economic policies. The author of the book strongly believes that the USA is "a country, founded on equality, liberty, justice and opportunity for all, that is slowly devolving into an unjust class society where life success is based more on inherited position and connections than individual effort and merit" ( p. 9).
    3. Elaborating on a further belief that "all our problems are a result of a few fundamental errors our country has made that can be corrected," the book looks at what Obama's economic policies offer problem-solving. It outlines Obama's core beliefs, approach, and the "magnitude and scope of [the] problems" his administration confronts. A fine attempt as the Introduction alone makes good independent reading, and the bulk of the book is even more fascinating. The author is clearly an admirer of Obama. However, the story he tells is a real one and he tells it in a convincing manner. I strongly recommend this book.
