The book consists of twelve case studies that demonstrate how economists have improved economic and social life in the USA by influencing public policy decisions. Economists built the foundation for eliminating the military draft in favor of an all-volunteer army in 1973, for passing the Earned Income Tax Credit in 1975, for deregulating airlines in 1978, for adopting the welfare-to-work reforms during the Clinton administration, and for implementing the Pension Reform Act of 2006.
