About this product

Product Information

As George Bush Plans to Borrow Trillions in Order to "Save" Social Security and as Congress ponders endlessly rising deficit projections, Peter Peterson offers a crucial warning and a manifesto. Acclaimed by all sides of the political spectrum, and required reading for everyone concerned with America's long-term economic survival, Running on Empty outlines what we must do to ensure our children's economic future and calls on the Bush administration to confront a deep and disturbing problem that politicians of all parties have insisted on ignoring for too long.

Reviews
"Pete Peterson articulates with clarity and force a common concern among many of us. Simply put, our fiscal profligacy and growing dependence on foreign savings cannot be sustained." --Paul Volcker, Former Federal Reserve Chairman "Today, too many of our country's key economic decisions are being made with an eye to the next election rather than to the next generation. This book explains in simple but powerful terms why it's imperative that our attention must be refocused now." --Warren E. Buffett, CEO Berkshire Hathaway "For anyone who is concerned about the future of their children and grandchildren, Pete Peterson's Running on Empty is required reading. Pete lays out in extraordinary detail how both major political parties have ignored the fiscal juggernaut that is bearing down upon us. His facts are irrefutable; his opinions grounded in those facts. It is a chilling story of what could be a fiscal disaster for this country that we all love." --Senator Warren B. Rudman "As Peter Peterson, a long and courageous advocate of fiscal responsibility puts it in Running on Empty, "I want to ask every American, young people especially: Is your future better off now than it was four years ago--now that you are saddled with these large new liabilities and the higher taxes that must eventually accompany them?" If that isn't an election issue, I don't know what is." --Thomas J. Friedman, New York Times Columnist "This book is a clear, realistic, insightful and compelling picture of America's fiscal and economic future. And, unlike most, this book actually proposes solutions. This book deserves to be the intellectual foundation for a movement to put the fuel back in our tank." --Bob Kerrey "Pete Peterson has performed a great national service with Running on Empty. No one knows better the costly consequences of record deficits for future generations. This is a wake up call we cannot ignore." --Tom Brokaw "Peter Peterson's book, Running on Empty, provides a clear, concise, and unvarnished look at America's political and fiscal deterioration. Peterson's common sense approach to reform, in order to take on the enormous challenges we face, is a refreshing tack which, sadly, is not often seen when it comes to America's economic situation. His observations about the social, economic, and international implications of our inaction are right on the mark. This book should be required reading for everyone involved in public policy and anyone who cares about America's future." --Senator John McCain

Very eye-opening book
A great read for any forward thinking, open-minded person. It was written after 9/11 with a lot of warning signs of the direction America is headed and it is even more evident of a pending meltdown today. It is unfortunate that politicians are not made to read the book, or even to look at the stats.
