{"product_id":"9781586489984","title":"A Governor's Story: The Fight for Jobs and America's Economic Future","description":"Jennifer Granholm was the two-term governor of Michigan, a state synonymous with manufacturing during a financial crisis that threatened to put all America's major car companies into bankruptcy. The immediate and knock-on effects were catastrophic. Granholm's grand plans for education reform, economic revitalization, clean energy, and infrastructure development were blitzed by a perfect economic storm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Granholm was a determined and undefeated governor, who enjoyed close access to the White House at critical moments (Granholm stood in for Sarah Palin during Joe Biden's debate preparation), and her account offers a front row seat on the effects of the crisis. Ultimately, her story is a model of hope. She hauls Michigan towards unprecedented private-public partnerships, forged in the chaos of financial freefall, built on new technologies that promise to revolutionize not only the century-old auto industry but Michigan's entire manufacturing base. They offer the potential for a remarkable recovery not just for her state, but for American industry nationwide.","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134192959728,"sku":"9781586489984","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781586489984_p0.jpg?v=1763799797","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781586489984","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
