| 摘要 | Click here to buy this book on Amazon. The winner of the presidential election will need to get quickly up-to-speed on how to manage the government. What are the likely issues he will encounter on the first day in the Oval Office? What does he do about the cost of the Iraq War? He’ll get blamed if there’s another terrorist attack, so what does he need to do that first day and the days and weeks to come to realistically and prudently prevent such an attack? How’s the economy? What kind of policies can he now really propose based upon the present state of the economy and the tax-base that supports federal programs? He promised during the campaign to tackle big issues like healthcare, education, energy, immigration, international trade, and taxation. If he’s going to hold himself to his own campaign rhetoric then he’d better surround himself with political savvy, fiscally astute advisers–like Lindsey and Sumerlin. This book is for the next president of the United States, all the policy-makers-in-waiting, and, most importantly, political junkies who appreciate that these authors were Oval Office advisors and that they understand what it takes to get a new administration up-and-running. Lawrence B. Lindsey is a visiting scholar at AEI. Marc Sumerlin is managing director and cofounder of the Lindsey Group. Praise for What a President Should Know “Larry Lindsey has provided a roadmap for how the next President can and should lead this nation through hazardous times. Readers of this book are taken directly into the Oval Office, to a world where decisions are high stakes and actions have consequences. You won’t want to put it down.” —Fred Thompson, former United States Senator “Agree with him or not, Larry Lindsey is always worth reading.” —Senator Joe Biden “This book is a real good read. Any President would benefit by his understanding of the way the process works inside the Oval Office. In fact, it would be valuable to anyone in any management position. Democrats may not agree with all the conclusions, but this is a great discussion of the policy choices the country faces.” —Tom and Heather Foley, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives “This is a book for everyone who is interested in the next occupant of the White House—including every presidential aspirant. Larry Lindsey writes with the expertise of an economist who taught at Harvard and a former Governor of the Federal Reserve and with the policy wisdom of someone who has worked in the White House in the Administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.” —Martin S. Feldstein, president and CEO of the National Bureau of Economic Research and former chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers “Agree or disagree, Larry Lindsey’s advice to the next president makes a crackling good read. As you turn the pages, you may find yourself alternately smiling and frowning. But you’ll want to keep turning—and you should.” —Alan S. Blinder, Professor of Economics, Princeton University, and former Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and former member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers |
