“An innovative approach that will appeal to those who question current claims of economic recovery.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This book really reads like a suspense novel. Turning each page, new tracks appear that the villain left behind in this economic whodunnit of all time. Of course, this is no idle fiction but the harsh truth of life in our world. The description of the economy the book offers is straightforward, yet profound and easy to grasp at the same time. Its message will have an impact. There is no way around it.” —Thorsteinn Thorgeirsson, Senior Advisor to the Governor, Central Bank of Iceland.

“Once again, Dr. Ravi Batra, one of America's most brilliant economists, knocks it out of the park. Everyone - particularly policy makers - needs to read this book! Brilliant, easy to understand, and filled with solid solutions to revive the American middle class.” —Thom Hartmann, host, Thom Hartmann Radio Program and The Big Picture

“For the aficionados of economics prophecy, Professor Batra has always been a legend: in this new work, however, his focus is on economic policy. He has little time for padding or rhetoric: instead, he sums up very quickly, in simple, lay terms, what must be done to bring to the U.S., and thence the world, out of its long-drawn doldrums. Even better, he shows how this might be accomplished bypassing the slow-moving processes of Congress, via Executive edicts. It is the economics primer for our times: a must read for all--especially President Obama with time still left in his tenure to carve himself a permanent niche in History.” —Prof. Rajani Kanth, Harvard University
