Ever since he went to Washington as a student, to watch Senate hearings on the travails of the
American  automobile  industry, Paul London has suspected that competition is the great unappreciated
truth of the American economy.  Now, decades later, in this lively and provocative book, he demon-
strates how competition has been the great source for the innovation, job creation, and national wealth
that has made the American  economy  so generally successful over the last two decades. And he argues
that keeping to this principle, irrespective of partisanship and politics, ought not to be a secret but
rather a guiding commitment  to help ensure a bountiful American economy  in the years ahead.

                                             and  The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power


Paul London  has done a masterful job of explaining the prosperity of the 1990s, which exceeded our
expectations. His is an entirely different perspective which defies conventional wisdom, takes much of
the complexity out of international competition, and should be a must read for anyone interested
in business.

                      -DAVID GIASS, former CEO of Wal-Mart and chair of its executive committee


Paul London  demonstrates  that competitive markets are the vital ingredient in our nation's economic
success. Tempting though they might be, protectionism, excessive regulation, and national 'champions'
will only undermine our ability to maintain that preeminence in an increasingly competitive global
economy.  Policymakers should read this book lest they forget a lesson that has served us well and will
continue to do so.

                                       -JOEL   I. KLEIN, former assistant attorney general for antitrust


In this surprising book, Paul London tells the story of how, over the past thirty-five years, politicians in
both political parties have taken steps to strengthen competition and stimulate the economy. As a result,
our nation is stronger, and private industry is better able to meet the challenges of the global economy.
