Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
THE PURPOSE OF POLITICS IS NOT TO DEFEAT YOUR OPPONENT AS MUCH AS IT IS TO PROVIDE SUPERIOR LEADERSHIP AND BETTER IDEAS THAN THE OPPOSITION.' JACK KEMPThe late 1970s were miserable for America. It was the postVietnam, postWatergate era, a time of high unemployment, ruinous inflation, gasoline lines, Communist advances, and bottomedout U.S. morale. In the 1980s, it all turned around: 'stagflation' ended and nearly two decades of prosperity ensued. The Soviet Union retreated, then collapsed. America again believed in itself. And around the world, democratic capitalism was deemed 'the end of history.'Ronald Reagans policies sparked the American renaissance, but the Gippers leadership is only part of the story. The economic theory that underpinned Americas success was pioneered by a star professional quarterback turned selftaught intellectual and 'bleedingheart conservative': Jack Kemp.Kemps role in a pivotal period in American history is at last illuminated in this firstever biography, which also has lessons for the politics of today. Kemp was the congressional champion of supplyside economicsthe idea that lowering taxes would foster growth. Even today, almost no one advocates a return to a top income tax rate of 70 percent.Kemp didnt just challenge the Democratic establishment. He also encouraged his fellow Republicans to be growth (not austerity) minded, open their tent to minorities and bluecollar workers, battle poverty and discrimination, and once again become 'the party of Lincoln.'Kemp approached politics the same way he played quarterback for the Buffalo Bills: with a refusal to accept defeat. Yet he also was incapable of personal attack, arguing always on the level of ideas. He regarded opponents as adversaries, not enemies, and often cooperated with them to get things done. Despite many ups and downs, including failed presidential and vicepresidential bids, he represented a positive, idealistic, compassionate Republicanism.Drawing on neverpublished papers and more than one hundred Kemp Oral History Project interviews, noted journalists Morton Kondracke and Fred Barnes trace Kemps life, from his childhood through his pro football career to his influential years as a congressman and cabinet secretary.As the American Dream seems to be waning and polarized politics stifles Washington, Kemp is a model for what politics ought to be. The Republican party and the nation are in desperate need of another Kemp.
