It's the Economy! (Stupid)

"A universally helpful and insightful book. I particularly liked the straightforward charts and summary points. It should be a reference manual for everyone interested in the US economy."

"Patric Hale has done a wonderful job researching and presenting the key issues facing the United States in the 21st century. His new book is exciting to read and should be in the library of every concerned citizen and corporate manager. This book is a general guide and reference that can be used and accessed for many years to come."
Robert Johnson, Director (Ret.), Hewlett-Packard

"Having worked in the financial world for over 30 years and witnessed first hand the lack of education relative to global economies, this is the first book that finally allows non-professors a birds-eye view on world economics in plain English!"
Jeff Marshall - President & CEO, Green Earth Technologies, Inc.

"A universally helpful and insightful book. I particularly liked the straightforward charts and summary points. It should be a reference manual for everyone interested in the US economy."

"I am a retired professor of economics, having taught for 40 years at New York University, San Francisco State University, and the University of California. During my tenure, I worked for three publishing companies as a consulting editor on new book proposals. "It's the Economy! (Stupid)" is one of the best manuscripts that I have ever read covering the golden keys to our economic future and a "must read" for our politicians, university faculty, and money vendors on Wall Street."
Prof. Stanford L. Johnson, PhD Emeritus, San Francisco State Univ.

"A most timely book and one that every American concerned for his country should read and think about. Patric Hale may be a voice crying in the wilderness but those who fail to heed it will pay a terrible price."
Hugh Menzies, Former Assoc. Editor, Fortune, Former Int'l Bus. Editor, BusinessWeek

"The US economy faces many headwinds and one needs to understand the challenges before they can be addressed. Here Mr. Hale achieves this very goal by putting the economy in perspective and simplifying the underlying complex issues. It is a very worthwhile read and reference guide for both the public and private sectors."
Anthony D'Ascoli, Vice President, Wealth Advisor, Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management

"Patric Hale's book is an "absolute must have" for every concerned citizen. It's a one-stop, exhaustive collection of data providing factual perspectives on all major economic issues, institutions and fundamentals that affect every citizen. The author provides easy-to-understand verbal and graphic summaries. This book will help you sort through the often misstated and contorted rhetoric thrown at us by our politicians."
Prof. Dr. Roger Nelson, Emeritus, former Assistant Dean and Chairman Department of Management, The David Eccles School of Business, University of Utah

"A friend who I was visiting gave me a copy of your book and I will have to say I wasn't much company after that. I'm one of those people you wrote the book for. I am always going on-line to find figures to support someone's opinion of where the US economy stands in relation to other world economies.... This book is it!"
Murray Schuyler, American Citizen
