Albuquerque, NM: Universal Printing & Publishing Inc., 1998. 116 Pages. No defects noted. Interior text pages are near flawless. My personal philosophy of government is that democracy depends on responsibility. Government is not an end in itself, but rather a way for people to work together as a community to accomplish things we cannot achieve alone as individuals. Government cannot and should never try to do everything. It must focus on the basics: education, jobs and opportunity, justice and public safety, environmental protection, and the administration of essential services. It must be limited to protect the rights and interests of the individual and the family, and the free association of people and ideas. But while government must be limited, it also must be effective. It must be prepared to carry out its basic responsibilities, to act in times of crisis, to prepare for the future and to serve as a catalyst for change. Elected officials have a duty to the voters who elect them to be strong leaders who know how to make government work. A governor who cannot do this is not fit to lead our state into the next century. . First Edition Stated. Trade Paperback.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In his long-awaited new book, our foremost authority on race and poverty challenges decades of liberal and conservative pieties to look squarely at the devastating effects that joblessness has had on our urban ghettos. Marshaling a vast array of data and the personal stories of hundreds of men and women, William Julius Wilson persuasively argues that the problems endemic to America’s inner cities - from fatherless households to drugs and violent crime - stem directly from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in the wake of a globalized economy. Wilson’s achievement is to portray this crisis as one that affects all Americans, and to propose solutions whose benefits would be felt across our society. At a time when welfare is ending and our country’s racial dialectic is more strained than ever before, WHEN WORK DISAPPEARS is a sane, courageous, and desperately important work. inventory #23002 ISBN: 0394579356., 0<
