Reviews"This is an excellent book, authoritative, informative, very well written, and of course directed to the big issues people care about."-- Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University, Twice Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction "An important book for readers of any political stripe who want to get beyond the current domestic policy impasse. You may not agree with everything Stone advocates, but every argument he makes is worthy of serious attention."-- Tom Daschle, Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader (Democrat, S. Dakota) "Smart, thoughtful, clearly very informed--yet absolutely accessible. It can be difficult to strike this balance, but Stone has caught it exactly."-- Rebecca Henderson, John and Natty McArthur University Professor, Harvard Business School "Jim Stone's book shows that we can indeed solve many of the nation's seemingly intractable problems if we follow clear headed, non-partisan thinking. If you care about our future, you should read this book."-- David T. Ellwood, Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy and Former Dean of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government "Stone has written a powerful, thought-provoking book. Whatever your political party or philosophy, you need to take all five of his theses seriously."-- Clayton Yeutter, former Chairman, Republican National Committee, and former United States Secretary of Agriculture "An extraordinarily impressive and important book. Stone is smart, balanced, and sensible, three traits that are in desperately short supply in our discourse about the future of the country. His analysis is penetrating, logical and powerful, without ideological spin. Every policy idea he presents follows from that logic. You don't have to agree with all of his proposals to realize his book's value to politicians, policymakers, and citizens everywhere." -- Norman Ornstein, author, political scientist, and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute , "This is an excellent book, authoritative, informative, very well written, and of course directed to the big issues people care about."-- Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University, Twice Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction "An important book for readers of any political stripe who want to get beyond the current domestic policy impasse.

SynopsisA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A business leader and esteemed economic thinker outlines simple solutions to America's five most pressing public policy issues, from healthcare to education to inequality. America today confronts a host of urgent problems, many of them seemingly intractable, but some we are entirely capable of solving. In Five Easy Theses , James M. Stone presents specific, common-sense solutions to a handful of our most pressing challenges, showing how simple it would be to shore up Social Security, rein in an out-of-control financial sector, reduce inequality, and make healthcare and education better and more affordable. The means are right in front of us, Stone explains, in various policy options that -- if implemented -- could preserve or enhance government revenue while also channeling the national economy toward the greater good. Accessible and thought provoking, Five Easy Theses reveals that a more democratic, prosperous America is well within our reach., A business leader and esteemed economic thinker outlines simple solutions to America's five most pressing public policy issues, from healthcare to education to inequality
