Refusing to Be Silent

&ldquo;Ed Conard challenges misconceptions that distort our economic debates. He debunks the myth that inequality is a conspiracy perpetuated by robber barons and sheds light on the complex economic phenomena that shape America&rsquo;s success. Readers of all political persuasions will benefit from this highly-informative book.&rdquo; &mdash;Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute &ldquo;This provocative new book by Ed Conard is a must-read for serious students of economic policy. Conard&rsquo;s core thesis&mdash;that advancement in living standards is constrained by risk capital and properly trained talent&mdash;suggests an inequality borne of returns from innovation. His solutions are sensible and all the more compelling in the context of this paean to risk-taking.&rdquo; &mdash;Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia Business School and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers &#160; &ldquo;Conard makes a fresh argument for the productive value of inequality, which is that scarce entrepreneurial effort and risk-tolerant capital are the resources that are both most central to economic growth and most sensitive to the potential distortions imposed by taxation and regulation. Whether or not one accepts this argument, it&rsquo;s an argument well worth having.&rdquo; &mdash;David Autor, professor of economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology &#160; &ldquo;I profoundly disagree with much of what is in Conard&rsquo;s book but respect the clarity with which he makes his case.&#160; Agree or disagree, this book can sharpen your thinking on critical economic issues, making it a very valuable contribution.&rdquo; &mdash;Larry Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury and Director of the National Economic Council, President Emeritus, Harvard University &#160; &ldquo;Ed Conard puts forward a comprehensive explanation of the modern economy. Critics may dismiss it as a defense of the 1 percent, but it&rsquo;s much, much more than that. I rarely see economic analysis as insightful as this.&rdquo; &mdash;Julian Robertson, founder of Tiger Management &#160; &ldquo;Page after page, Ed Conard challenges conventional wisdom about the causes of growing inequality, the constraints to growth, and the feasibility of commonly proposed solutions to advance a thought-provoking blueprint for growing middle- and working-class incomes in a world with an abundance of workers. Whether you agree or not, this is serious thinking for serious thinkers.&rdquo; &mdash;Mitt Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts

It finds beauty in unexpected places, explores the difference between what&rsquo;s fleeting and what lasts, acknowledges inequality, and testifies to the love shared by an African-American boy and his grandmother.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&ldquo;Matt de la Pe&ntilde;a&rsquo;s warmhearted story is&#160;musical in its cadences&hellip;Christian Robinson&rsquo;s angular, bright&#160;illustrations are energetic and vibrant...&#160;[A] celebration of the joys of service, the gifts of grandmothers and the tenderness that the city can contain.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&#9733;&#160;&ldquo;De la Pe&ntilde;a and Robinson here are carrying on for Ezra Jack Keats in spirit and visual style.

She has a reckless candor that can make you laugh and gasp at the same time. . . . As Nora Ephron said, &ldquo;Everything is copy.&rdquo; For those of us who regard &ldquo;I Feel Bad About My Neck&rdquo; as a bible for the midlife woman, Ephron is simply irreplaceable, but Druckerman is the heir to her impish, unembarrassable spirit and adorable storytelling.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Essayist Druckerman is both droll and wise on facing the inevitability(and occasional upsides!) of aging.&rdquo; &ndash;People &ldquo;The decline of being middle &ndash;aged is probed with humor (chapter 7: How to Plan a M&eacute;nage &agrave; Trois), honesty (chapter 10: How to Have a Midlife Crisis) and heart (chapter 8: How to be Mortal).&rdquo; &mdash; Family Circle Magazine&ldquo;Pamela Druckerman brings her irresistible combination of wit, humility, curiosity and insight to topics as grown-up as facing mortality and planning a threesome in her new book, which is sure to delight anyone undergoing, contemplating, or recovering from middle age.

If &lsquo;forty is the old age of youth and fifty is the youth of old age,&rsquo; this book hilariously meanders the purgatory of what&rsquo;s in between.&rdquo;&mdash;Jill Kargman, author of Momzilla and creator, writer, producer and star of Odd Mom Out. &#160;"This is no journalistic tome, though. Druckerman&rsquo;s voice&mdash;self-deprecating but also keenly observant&mdash;will remind readers of the late Nora Ephron&hellip; Peppered with &ldquo;You know you&rsquo;re in your 40s when&rdquo; lists, this is a delightfully funny, thoughtful coming-of-middle-age story.&rdquo; &mdash; Susan Maguire, Booklist &#160;&ldquo;Half memoir and half ironic how-to guide, Druckerman&rsquo;s book is not only a humorous meditation on the gains and pains of a time in life &lsquo;when you become who you are&rsquo;; it is also a thought-provoking meditation on &lsquo;what it means to be a grown-up.&rsquo; A trenchant and witty book on maturity and &lsquo;middle-age shock.&rsquo;&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus &ldquo;Pamela Druckerman explores the challenges of being forty-something by sharing her own experiences with a deep, hilarious honesty.

Need I say more?&rdquo; &mdash;Susan Taylor from Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza&ldquo;What makes Druckerman&rsquo;s writing&hellip;so entertaining and addictive is her insatiable curiosity about humans and culture, her incessant research, and her extraordinary, comical honesty.
