Overview

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the book which helped launch the current economic miracle. Gateway Books is proudly repackaging and re-releasing The Way the World Works. Jude Wanniski's masterpiece defined the economic policies of the 1980s responsible for a booming stock market, the creation of thirty million new jobs. untold wealth, and unparalleled prosperity. The life of the average American is richer today because of the wisdom in The Way the World Works. Wanniski supplies the recipe for economic growth which should be followed by every nation around the globe.

The Way the World Works ranks alongside Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson as the most important and most prescient books on economics in modern times.

The first book to explain in detail the principles of supply-side economics and explore world history from that perspective.

    The Truth Revealed!!

    I'm an extremely educated person, but this book showed me a perspective that I had never received in college. I now believe most of the economics I've studied for years to be incorrect. This book has opened my eyes to the 'Way the World Works.'
