{"product_id":"2940015514704","title":"It's Economy Stupid.com","description":"IT’S ECONOMY STUPID.COM is a unique guide for the American voters in the greatest country ever on this planet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 125+ cartoons and 20+ easy to understand charts, this 208 pages book in vivid colors is the simplest presentation possible to instruct voters about economic conditions in the United States so that they can make intelligent choices in the voting booth on Tuesday, November 6, 2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Bill Clinton campaign coined the phrase, “It’s the economy, stupid,” in 1992, it reduced American politics to its most essential ingredient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was the economy then. It is the economy today. It will always be the economy that motivates voters when they cast their ballots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the economy is ticking along – and that’s rarely the case these days – voters may focus on social issues or international affairs. But it’s only a healthy economy that allows them to do so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a weak economy, such as the one voters face in 2012, little else matters when they make their decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo why isn’t there more honest debate and discussion about economic issues in the current election cycle, considering that America is in its weakest economic recovery in 60+ years and seems constantly to be teetering toward a second recession?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause politicians and pundits believe Americans care more about how many houses a candidate owns, how many times he plays golf, who is funnier on David Letterman and who commits the most campaign trail gaffes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors believe Americans want the facts about the economy, and that those facts will influence the way they vote.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike most Americans, they are committed to the democratic process, which they believe depends mightily on an informed electorate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether or not you accept the partisan spin they put on their information, you should find the facts about the economy useful, particularly if you believe as they do, that it’s still the economy.","brand":"Kirit Bakshi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084494225648,"sku":"2940015514704","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015514704_p0.jpg?v=1763621193","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015514704","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
