Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy Audiobook

" I am a fan of Bill Clinton's so it is no surprise that I like this book. He does a really good job of explaining how we got into our current economic mess and offers some interesting ways to move forward. With that said, there is a generous amount of what comes off as bragging regarding his accomplishments as POTUS. Still, I recommend this book as a good way to jumpstart some interesting discussions. "

" I LOVE listening to BC get interviewed and give speeches, but this book sort of rambled on and I lost interest. Even though his points, when he got to them, where GREAT. Wish it was better organized for short-attention-span folks such as myself. "

" I liked this book. I think Clinton has a lot of good ideas. However, I could have done without the ways that he saved America and how the Republicans ruined it. "

" To be straight forward, this book wasn't that bad. Bill Clinton speaks about a lot of great ideas that if the government could just work together, they would see that they really are good ideas. There were two things in the book that did keep popping up that rubbed me wrong though. Clinton mentioned a lot of reasons why would should have praised him more for his time in office, I just don't like it when people try to get glory. The second is that he kept assuming that a lot of people that would read his book would be completely and utterly against government. This is just not true for most people with a brain. Other than that, his steps are clear and easily understood. "

" The book was written with the right intention, but the delivery needs lot of work. The first chapter or two focuses too much on missed GOP steps and the President has not done enough to make his case for the right sized Government, though the case is there to be made. "

" I wish more public figures would write books like this one. It's thoughtful and smart AND accessible, it has some truly constructive commentary on the current state of our political system and especially the economy, and it openly advocates for increased dialogue, cooperation, and yes, compromise. Cheers for President Clinton. "

" As a past president, Clinton understands how to get the country moving again. In this quick read President Clinton gives reasons how we got into this recession and how to get our country moving again. All his 46 antidotes makes sense. "

" An enjoyable read with a practical approach to thinking about resolving some of America's economic issues. Relatively straightforward you don't have to be a huge politics nut to take something away from it, although it probably helps... "

" President Clinton offers completely viable solutions for getting America back to work. If this country could get past the bipartisan bickering and work together, then this country could get back on track to a prosperous and limitless future. "

" Good to read some positive outlook on our country. Describes the problems and then lots on solutions. As subtitle says we need to gets USA back to the future! "

" Terrific book! Reminds me of why he was such a successful president and makes me wish he was president still. He truly is the elder statesman of the world. President of the world, I believe Anderson Cooper called him. "

" Listened o it on CD. So not really sure I got it all. But I Enjoyed it. "

" Nice way to see inside the thoughts of a former President. However, keep in mind the vast size differences of the economies discussed when the author refers to percentages spent with respect to GDP. "

" I wish everyone would read this before pontificating about the economy. Thanks, Lucas! "

" This book reads like one of Bill Clinton's very long State of the Union Address, with some policy proposal for everyone, which is to say I liked it. "
