Foreword by President George W. BushWith contributions from world renowned economists and Nobel prizewinners, The 4% Solution is a blueprint for restoring America’s economic health The United States is reaching a pivotal point in its economic history. Millions of Americans owe more on their homes than they are worth, long-term unemployment is alarmingly high, and the Congressional Budget Office is projecting a sustainable growth rate of only 2.3%—a full percentage point below the average for the past sixty years. Unless a turnaround comes quickly, the United States could be mired in debt for years to come and millions of Americans will be pushed to the sidelines of the economy. The 4% Solution offers clear and unflinching ideas on how to revive America’s economy. It sets a positive economic goal and asks some of the top economic minds on how to achieve it. With a focus on removing government constraints, The 4% Solution defines the policies that will allow Americans to save, invest, and create the jobs that the United States needs. The 4% Solution draws on the best minds in the business, including five Nobel laureates: · Robert E. Lucas, Jr., on the history and future of economic growth · Gary S. Becker on why we need immigrants in order to grow · Edward Prescott on the cost (to growth) of the welfare state · Vernon Smith on why housing leads us into and out of recessions · Myron Scholes on why we need to innovate in order to grow the economy

A vibrant collection of oil paintings and stories by President George W. Bush honoring the sacrifice and courage of America’s military veterans. With Forewords by former First Lady Laura Bush and General Peter Pace, 16th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Growing out of President Bush’s own outreach and the ongoing work of the George W. Bush Institute''s Military Service Initiative, Portraits of Courage brings together sixty-six full-color portraits and a four-panel mural painted by President Bush of members of the United States military who have served our nation with honor since 9/11—and whom he has come to know personally. Our men and women in uniform have faced down enemies, liberated millions, and in doing so showed the true compassion of our nation. Often, they return home with injuries—both visible and invisible—that intensify the challenges of transitioning into civilian life. In addition to these burdens, research shows a civilian-military divide. Seventy-one percent of Americans say they have little understanding of the issues facing veterans, and veterans agree: eighty-four percent say that the public has "little awareness" of the issues facing them and their families. Each painting in this meticulously produced hardcover volume is accompanied by the inspiring story of the veteran depicted, written by the President. Readers can see the faces of those who answered the nation’s call and learn from their bravery on the battlefield, their journeys to recovery, and the continued leadership and contributions they are making as civilians. It is President Bush’s desire that these stories of courage and resilience will honor our men and women in uniform, highlight their family and caregivers who bear the burden of their sacrifice, and help Americans understand how we can support our veterans and empower them to succeed. President Bush will donate his net author proceeds from PORTRAITS OF COURAGE to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, a non-profit organization whose Military Service Initiative works to ensure that post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life with a focus on gaining meaningful employment and overcoming the invisible wounds of war.

Nunca desde los tiempos de John Quincy Adams y John Adams en la Casa Blanca hace 190 años han sido padre e hijo presidentes de los Estados Unidos. En 41: un retrato de mi padre, George W. Bush el presidente número 43, nos guía a lo largo de la vida y el liderazgo de su padre, George H.W. Bush, el presidente número 41. Íntimo y conmovedor, 41 es un libro que solo un hijo —y también presidente— podía escribir. La vida de George H.W. Bush es una gran historia americana. A raíz del ataque a Pearl Harbor y contra los deseos de su padre, pospuso sus estudios para pilotar en las fuerzas armadas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tras varias misiones en el Pacífico, regreso a Estados Unidos donde se casó con Barbara Pierce, la mujer que tanta influencia tendría sobre padre e hijo. Tras una exitosa carrera en Wall Street, su espíritu aventurero hizo que la joven familia se trasladara a Texas. Recordando su niñez en Midland, Texas, George W. Bush explora como su padre desarrolló su instinto, su capacidad para las relaciones personales, y su habilidad para arriesgar al tiempo que triunfaba en el mundo del petróleo primero y en política después. George W. Bush describe las extraordinarias tres décadas de su padre en la política —en el Congreso primero, más tarde como embajador, director de la CIA, vicepresidente bajo Ronald Reagan y finalmente presidente de los Estados Unidos en 1988. Pero más que una biografía, 41 nos ofrece las lecciones que un hijo aprendió del hombre al que admira y adora. George W. Bush reflexiona sobre la influencia que su padre tuvo en su vida tanto personal como política, y revela como el apoyo constante y silencioso de su padre lo ayudó en los momentos más difíciles. George H.W. Bush fue uno de los políticos más influyentes norteamericano del siglo XX, y uno de los hombres de estado más queridos del siglo XXI. 41 es un emotivo tributo a un inspirador padre y a un gran estadounidense.

Since the September 11 attacks, America is safer, but we are not yet safe. We have done much to degrade al-Qaida and its affiliates and to undercut the perceived legitimacy of terrorism. Our Muslim partners are speaking out against those who seek to use their religion to justify violence and a totalitarian vision of the world. We have significantly expanded our counter terrorism coalition, transforming old adversaries into new and vital partners in the War on Terror. We have liberated more than 50 million Afghans and Iraqis from despotism, terrorism, and oppression, permitting the first free elections in recorded history for either nation. In addition, we have transformed our governmental institutions and framework to wage a generational struggle. There will continue to be challenges ahead, but along with our partners, we will attack terrorism and its ideology, and bring hope and freedom to the people of the world. This is how we will win the War on Terror.

Since the turn of the millennium, our Nation has endured history's deadliest attack of international terrorism and the most destructive natural disaster to strike American soil. In the face of these challenges, America has responded courageously, with focus and clarity of purpose, and today we are safer, stronger, and better prepared to address the full range of catastrophic events, including man-made accidents and natural disasters, that threaten us. Our work, however, is far from over. We remain resolute in our commitment to prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks in the Homeland, protect the American people and the Nation's critical infrastructure and key resources, and effectively respond to and recover from those incidents that do occur. Working together, our Nation will secure the Homeland in order to sustain our way of life--now and for generations to come.

Our success in preventing future terrorist attacks depends upon our ability to gather, analyze, and share information and intelligence regarding those who want to attackus, the tactics that they use, and the targets that they intend to attack. Our NationalStrategy for Combating Terrorism, issued in September 2006, recognizes that the War on Terroris a different kind of war, which requires a paradigm shift and the application of all elementsof our national power and influence. The intelligence and information sharing structures thatonce enabled the winning of the Cold War now require greater flexibility and resilience toconfront the threats facing our Nation from a transnational terrorist movement determinedto destroy our people, our freedoms, and our way of life.

The challenges America faces are great, yet we have enormous power andinfluence to address those challenges.The times require an ambitious nationalsecurity strategy, yet one recognizing the limits to what even a nation as powerfulas the United States can achieve by itself. Our national security strategy isidealistic about goals, and realistic about means. There was a time when two oceans seemed to provide protection from problemsin other lands, leaving America to lead by example alone.That time has longsince passed.America cannot know peace, security, and prosperity by retreatingfrom the world. America must lead by deed as well as by example.This is howwe plan to lead, and this is the legacy we will leave to those who follow.

Ein Stück amerikanische Geschichte: Das Leben des einen Präsidenten, betrachtet durch die Augen eines anderenBeide waren sie Präsident der USA: George H.W. Bush und sein Sohn George W. Bush. Kurz vor den Präsidentschaftswahlen im nächsten Jahr hat nun George W. Bush über den Vater geschrieben: eine intime, aufrichtige und erhellende Auseinandersetzung mit den eigenen Wurzeln.Das Leben des George Herbert Walker Bush ist eine großartige amerikanische Story. Wegen des Angriffs auf Pearl Harbor und gegen den Wunsch seines Vaters verschob er seinen Studienantritt und flog stattdessen Torpedobomber im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Nachdem er zahlreiche Kampfeinsätze im Pazifik überlebt hatte, kehrte er nach Hause zurück, um Barbara Pierce zu ehelichen - eine Frau, die im Verlauf der nächsten Jahrzehnte sowohl ihren Mann als auch ihren Sohn ungemein beeinflussen sollte.Dank seiner militärischen Auszeichnungen und seines Yale-Abschlusses wäre George H.W. Bush ein überaus gefragter Mann an der Wall Street gewesen. Aber ihn lockte das Abenteuer, und gemeinsam mit seiner jungen Familie zog er in den Westen von Texas. Der Autor George W. Bush erinnert sich an seine Kindheit im texanischen Midland und nimmt genau unter der Lupe, wie sein Vater dort neue persönliche Beziehungen aufbaute, seinen Instinkten folgte und sich immer wieder auf Risiken einließ - in der Wirtschaft wie in der Politik. Bush Senior baute in den Fünfziger- und Sechzigerjahren nicht nur ein erfolgreiches Ölunternehmen auf, er kam auch innerhalb der Republikanischen Partei zu großem Einfluss.Mit großer Sachkenntnis beschreibt nun sein Sohn die bemerkenswerte wie ereignisreiche politische Laufbahn des George H.W. Bush. Auf die schmerzlichen Niederlagen bei den texanischen Senatswahlen in den Jahren 1964 und 1970 folgte das Engagement als Diplomat und CIA-Direktor, bevor Bush senior acht Jahre lang als Ronald Reagans Vize agierte und schließlich 1988 selbst zur Wahl zum Präsidenten der USA antrat. Während seiner vier bedeutsamen Jahre im Oval Office führte er die Nation zu einem friedlichen Ende des Kalten Krieges, leitete die Befreiung von Panama und Kuwait in die Wege und legte mit seinem wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen den Grundstein zu einem neuerlichen Aufschwung. Die Niederlage bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen 1992 war eine herbe Enttäuschung, doch er überwand seinen Schmerz: Sein damaliger Rivale, Bill Clinton, sollte später sogar sein Freund werden.Ein Porträt meines Vaters ist mehr als nur eine gewöhnliche Biografie geworden. Es gewährt auch einen Einblick in die Lehren, die der Sohn aus der Beobachtung seines Vaters zog - eines Mannes, den er bewundert und verehrt. Er erörtert den Einfluss seines Vaters auf seinen eigenen politischen Weg und erzählt, wie ihn dessen ruhige und emotional ausgewogene Unterstützung durch schwierige Zeiten geleitete.George H.W. Bush ist einer der bedeutendsten amerikanischen Politiker des 20. Jahrhunderts und ist mittlerweile ein hoch angesehener Elder Statesman. Dieses Buch ist eine spannende Hommage an einen inspirierenden Vater und großartigen Amerikaner.- die ultimative Insider-Geschichte über eine der einflussreichsten Familien Amerikas- unverzichtbare Lektüre vor der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2016
